📄 Abstract

Background Dysania (clinomania) is a persistent, pathological inability to rise after waking—lasting hours rather than the 15–30 minutes of normal sleep inertia—and marked by executive dysfunction, motor inhibition, and intense dread. This paper uses Pancha Nidana to interpret dysania and aims to link that Ayurvedic diagnostic framework with contemporary neurobiological evidence to create an integrative model. Objective This paper aims to interpret dysania using Pancha Nidana, Ayurveda’s five‑part diagnostic framework, and to establish functional links between that classical model and contemporary neurobiological evidence. Materials content of this article is based on a review the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya, along with evidence from journals and other credible online sources. Methods After read thoroughly Ayurvedic texts (Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridaya) to identify syndromes resembling modern dysania and organized findings using the Pancha Nidana (five basic methods of diagnosis of disease). Then matched those descriptions to current peer reviewed research to map overlaps and differences between Ayurvedic insights and modern biomedical evidence (e.g., brain activity, inflammation). Result & Discussion Dysania reflects Kapha Tamo Avarana obstructing Prana Vayu—driven by heavy food, daytime napping, and chronic stress—which weakens agni and clogs the Manovaha srotas. Neurobiological parallels include delayed prefrontal reactivation, a blunted cortisol awakening response,hypo dopaminergic/adenosine related lethargy, and cytokine mediated “sickness behavior,” supporting integrated Ayurvedic–biomedical treatment hypotheses. Conclusion Viewed through Pancha Nidana, dysania stems from Kapha Tamo occluding Vata, causing prolonged morning inertia. Integrating Ayurveda with neurobiology suggests interventions—timed bright light, warming/pungent foods or botanicals, and circadian realignment—to reactivate frontal networks, boost metabolism, and restore neurotransmission.
