Nidra (Samskrit: निद्रा) refers to the sleep. Sleep is not merely the state of reversible unconsciousness but according to the Ayurveda, sleep is that state of body, mind, senses and energy where the interaction between [[Purusha (पुरुषः)|purush]] (पुरुषः) and loka (लोकम्) is suspended for some time and all the above components relax, rejuvenate and refresh the individual.

Ayurveda mentions the concept of 3 supporting pillars of life. These are called as 3 upastambhas. It is stated that, strength, immunity, complexion and growth of any individual is dependent on well-regulated support of 3 factors namely ''Ahara'' (food), ''nidra'' (sleep) and observance of ''bramhacharya'' (celibacy/control of senses) (Cha. Su. 11/35). These are called supports or pillars of one’s [[Ayu (आयुः)|Ayu]] or life. Thus, Nidra is said to be one of 3 supports of life which plays integral role in one’s health and wellness.
