Sleep & Dream are the effortless properties of consciousnss. This hould be understood well to prevent insomnia, illusions and halluciations. The material is helpful for students and common people to get awareness into lifestyle.
The document discusses different states of consciousness including sleep, dreams, hypnosis, meditation, and drug-induced states. It describes the stages of sleep and theories about why we dream. Hypnosis is described as a suggestible state guided by a hypnotist, while meditation involves focusing attention to produce relaxation. Psychoactive drugs like marijuana, LSD, and opiates interact with the central nervous system to alter mood, perception, and behavior.
Depression has been linked to problems or imbalances in the brain, specifically with regard to the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. The evidence is somewhat indirect on these points because it is very difficult to actually measure the level of neurotransmitter in a person’s brain. What we do know is that antidepressant medications (used to treat the symptoms of depression) are known to act upon these particular neurotransmitters and their receptors.

Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early. It can be acute (short term) or chronic. Insomnia can be caused by stress, anxiety, medications, substances, or other mental disorders. Symptoms include trouble falling asleep, waking frequently during the night, and feeling unrefreshed upon waking. Treatments include behavioral therapies, relaxation techniques, avoiding stimulants before bed, and medications called hypnotics. Past studies have found links between insomnia and depression as well as suicidal behavior.
The document discusses biorhythms and how the body's physical and mental states cycle throughout the day in regular patterns. It notes that biorhythms affect individuals from birth throughout life. The three main biorhythmic cycles are physical, emotional, and intellectual. Good sleep is important for regeneration and recovery, and different people have different natural sleep patterns as either "larks" or "owls". The biological clock controls daily cycles in organ function and energy levels throughout the day and night.
Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback therapy that uses EEG to measure brain waves and teach patients to regulate their brain activity. Studies show neurofeedback can be an effective complementary treatment for addiction when combined with therapies like CBT. It works by training patients over multiple sessions to develop coping skills and process stressors in a calm manner by retraining dysfunctional brain patterns associated with their substance dependence. Research finds neurofeedback improves focus and reduces impulsive behaviors for over 85% of patients, and treatment programs using it have higher success rates and lower relapse.
Chanting has physical and mental health benefits according to research. The rhythmic tones of chanting create neurological and psycholinguistic effects in the body that produce curative chemicals in the brain.

population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Yoga & human consciousness aklishta-vritti
1. Yoga & Human Consciousness
Aklishta Vritti-
Sleep and Dream
Dr. Amaravathi Eraballi,
Yoga & Life Sciences
2. Aklishta Vritti
• The effortless
functions of mind are
nidra and smruti.
• In English these terms
are called as Sleep and
Dream
3. Sleep (Nidra)
• In modern terms it is the bed time with closed
eyes and no movements of eyes ball.
• Research proves the non-rapid eye movement
(non-REM) is considered as sleep.
• If this happens even in day times, it is
considered as the tiredness of physical or
mental levels.
4. Sleep training
• Ancient technique called Yoga nidra is the best suiting
technique.
• Here the person will be introduced to physical
relaxation.
• The rest of the changes are going to fall as nidra or
sleep.
• 3.30am to 5.30am is brahma Muhurtham for best
wakeup and training mind.
5. Disorders of sleep
• Insomnia: it is the lack of sleep at nights for
more than 1 month.
• It is associated with feeling of fatigue.
• Causes: any hidden emotion, unexplainable
situations or fears, lack of diet, more stress
6. Disorders of sleep
• Sleep apnea: Sudden stoppage of breath
during sleep and wakes up to resume breath
at nights for more than 1 month.
• It is associated with day time fatigue, loud
snoring.
• Causes: obesity, life events, lack of diet, more
stress, old age.
7. Disorders of sleep
• Somnambulism: it is the real walking, car
driving, cooking or even dancing, with open
eyes during sleep.
• Sudden Infant Death syndrome: sudden death
in infants below 1 year of age much in males
babies than girls.
8. Dream (Smruti)
• The memories often people explain as a movie
or story after wakeup or before resuming
sleep after sudden nightmare.
• Here the rapid eye movements with or
without body movements happens.
• This happens as active or passive processes.
9. Types of dreams
1. Natural:
Remembering is the memory or past
experiences as right knowledge (pratyaksha).
As information of previous experience it helps to
guide in present and plan future.
So it is required as per situation in daily life.
10. Types of dreams
2. Un-natural:
Remembering anything in night times or after
sunset. It is not required during sleep.
If it happens in night sleep, it means there is some
stress, not able to forget or forgive.
This leads to hallucinations, illusions and melatonin
disturbances.
11. Sleep Test and Lifestyle
• Pittsburgh Sleep Inventory Questionnaire
(PSIQ)
• Yoga as a lifestyle, must be followed on daily
basis. Here circadian rhythm is the “snadya
vandanam”. So sleep with sunset and wakeup
with sunrise as daily routine.
12. Testing the sleep
• Quality of sleep matters than duration of sleep.
• This was proven that, short sleep times at mid-
day as power nap helps for the corporate people
because of their mental tiredness.
• The same power nap is used for old people or
aged people or geriatrics to encourage the
metabolic equilibrium.
13. Sleep in past 1 month
1. Usual bed time
2. Bed time to sleep time
3. Wake-up time
4. Duration of sleep
5. Troubles like; dreams, urination, snoring,
climate, new place, pains, late night works, etc,.
14. Sleep in past 1 month
6. Quality of sleep; very good (or) fairly good
(or) bad
7. Usage of sleeping pills
8. Do you felt sleepy in driving, eating, working
9. Do you put efforts to be enthusiastic or it not
10. Are you happy with job (or) colleagues (or)
partner (or) neighbours?
15. Yoga Treatment
Yoga nidra is the technique that must be learned
under guidance and get habituated.
Hence the natural healing mechanisms happen
without much adrenaline (non-REM)
• Trataka also helps in reducing dreams and
improve quality of sleep.
16. Yoga techniques as Consciousness
• The information processed with open eyes will be reduced
to very minimum.
• “Focussed on less information and no chance for past
thoughts” is the ability that practitioner can experience.
• So yoga nidra and trataka are mindfulness practices as
mind-body- medicine.
• This is the new information or consciousness that
practitioner can earn.
