Approximately 20% of patients seen by primary-care physicians report significant sleep disturbances.1 Insomnia affects all segments of the population, including children and the elderly. While precise estimates vary as a function of definitions and methodology, approximately 40% of adults (≥18 years of age) report at least 1 symptom of insomnia 3 times per week, 20% are dissatisfied with their sleep, and about 10%-13% meet criteria for an insomnia disorder.2,3,4 Anidra is pathological state of sleep where a person does not get proper sound sleep which may be due to Vata vitiation.5
