Anidra has not been described as a separate disease entity in Ayurvedic classics, but it is mentioned in fragments at several places as Purva Roopa, Symptoms, Visha Lakshanas, Arishta etc. In spite of scarcity of direct references of Anidra, the available descriptions have more than sufficient potential to elaborate and establish a universally acceptable treatment module for the disease. Suppression of sleep cause Jrimbha, Angamarda, Tandra, Shiro roga, Akshigaurav. Insomniac patients very commonly complain of polymyalgia, daytime drowsiness, headache, heaviness over eyelids. Restraint of sleep produces Vataja diseases. Proper and adequate sleep can be obtained with the help of Brimhana Chikitsa in the form of Sirahtarpana. Sirahtarpana can be achieved through different routes in the form of Karnapoorana, Akshitarpana and Nasya. Nose is the major route through which effective perfusion of oil based medication occurs into the Mastishka as it is the gateway to head. On proper application, Nasya gives fruitful results such as lightness of the head, sound and refreshing sleep, the state of being easily awakened, alleviation of the disease, hilarity of the mind and a gladsome activity of the sense-organs in performing their respective functions.
