Sleep is not inactivity but a distinct state of citta — what the Sutras call nidrā — essential for the consolidation of memory, the regulation of emotion, and the restoration of the nervous system. The relationship between sleep and mental health is bidirectional: disrupted sleep worsens every psychological condition, while every psychological condition tends to disrupt sleep. Understanding this relationship is foundational to any serious approach to mental wellbeing.
