ABSTRACT:

The most important goal of human life is to attain the state of perfect health, health is not the absence of disease, and it is the harmonious balance of physical, mental and social well-being. Thus to attain the state of perfect well-being, one has to practice healthy regimen like dinacharya (daily regimen), ritucharya (seasonal regimen) and ratricharya (night regimen).In this 21^st century people are working continuously day and night which could have serious implications on their health and well-being. The concept of ratricharya (night regimen) is very important for the promotion of health. By following the regimen of Swasthavritta (which includes dinacharya, ratricharya, ritucharya and sadvritta) one can live for hundred years without any disease or illness.

Keywords: Health, Ratricharya, Ahara, Nidra, Sleep.
