This paper explores the role of Unani medicine in enhancing sleep quality, particularly in the context of modern lifestyle disorders. As sleep disorders such as insomnia, stress, and anxiety have become prevalent in today’s fast-paced society, many individuals seek alternative, natural remedies for improvement. Unani medicine, an ancient healing system based on the balance of humors and holistic health principles, offers various treatments for sleep disturbances. This study reviews traditional Unani approaches, focusing on herbal remedies like Asgand, Balchhar, and Babuna, as well as lifestyle practices designed to restore balance and tranquility. Through an extensive literature review, this paper examines the effectiveness of these treatments, comparing them with modern pharmacological interventions. Findings suggest that Unani herbs not only promote relaxation but also help in reducing stress and improving mental health, contributing to better sleep quality. The paper concludes that Unani medicine provides a valuable alternative to contemporary sleep aids, offering a more holistic and natural approach to treating sleep disorders in the modern world.
