Amid chaotic schedules, undersleeping or oversleeping has become routine, but Unani medicine spotlights the peril in such habits.
Sleep serves as the arena for ruh-e-hayati’s guardianship and restoration. Internal repairs flourish, digestive equilibrium restores, mental tranquility reigns, energy rebuilds.
Shortchange it, witness frailty, temper flares, mental fog.
Vigil too extended breeds thermal excess and desiccation, ravaging mind, optics, vasculature. Head pains, scorching feelings, agitation, oral drought, fatigue ensue. Long-term: moisture loss, vigor fade, early decline.
Surfeit sleep infuses iciness and saturation, retarding operations. Assimilation falters, indolence dominates—cue corpulence, oppression, eructation, sputum, disengagement.
Customization rules Unani: scale to chronology and character. Juveniles require plenitude; geriatrics, restraint. Caloric types favor brevity; aqueous, vigilance against surplus. Pinnacle: vespertine hours to auroral awakening.
Integrate these axioms for enduring health. Unani’s balance promises vitality unbound.
