        abstract = {In Ayurveda Nidra (sleep) is a column of the human body along with Aahar (Diet) and Brahmacharya (celibacy). Nidra is a fundamental pillar of health in Ayurveda, essential for physical and mental well-being. Nidra stands out as one of the prominent factors to be examined in the contemporary era, constituting a vital component of a healthy lifestyle. Ayurveda defines Nidra (sleep) as the physiological state of rest for the Sharira (body), Mana (mind) and Indriya (sense organs). In recent studies lack of sleep or say sleep disorders may be factors contributing to heart disease, obesity and diabetes etc. In such cases of sleep disorders along with symptomatic medication one needs lifestyle modifications and relaxation training. Nidra is closely related to the flow of Prana. When Prana is balanced and flowing smoothly, it promotes restful sleep. Marma therapy can help regulate Prana flow, potentially improving sleep quality. This paper explores the intricate relationship between Nidra and Marma points, vital energy centers in the body by examining the Ayurvedic understanding of sleep physiology and the energetic influence of Marmas.},
