Abstract
Sleep is an important part of our life. We spend about one-third of our life time doing it. Optimum quality and quantity of sleep at the right time, is as essential to survival as food and water. Without sleep an individual can’t form or maintain the pathways in the brain that let him learn and create new memories, and it will cause harder to concentrate and respond quickly. Unani system of medicine has described Asbab e sittah zarooriyah (Six Essential factors) of life. Any abnormality or dysregulation in the normalcy of these factors may become a cause of diseases. Naum wa yaqza (Sleep and wakefulness) is the fifth important entity of these six factors. Ancient Unani Scholars described very elaborately the sleep with various aspects like its relation with general physical, mental health, body metabolism, digestion, immunity and human well- being. Ancient Unani literature has also described benefit of optimum sleep and characteristics of good sleep.
