Abstract
Sleep is one of the basic and indispensable physiological requirements like eating, breathing and excretion, and a very important autogenic health source which can help you eat less, think better and which affects directly the quality of life and well-being. It is also known to be a period of regeneration that prepares the whole body for daily life. Because of having such important tasks and functions, sleep efficiency is vitally important. Sleep disorders affect the quality and/or quantity of sleep and lower many psychological and physical functions like performance, learning, metabolism and immunity. The various side effects of pharmacological products increase the use of yoga as a safe, effective, non-pharmacological, self-regulating and supportive practice in Western therapeutical approach to sleep disorders.
