Yoga nidra practice is documented to be used for sleep by sages. Recently, yoga nidra has been used in patients of menstrual abnormalities, post- traumatic stress disorder, diabetes, anxiety and depression but little is known about its effect on sleep or sleep disorders. Although we find description of yoga nidra in literature, there is no scientific report of its application in sleep disorders. The objective of the study was to develop yoga nidra model in management of chronic insomnia patients. The model was developed using inputs from yoga school trained instructors of yoga nidra.
