Abstract

Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. The causative factors can be related to stress, anxiety, irregular lifestyles, as well as certain medical conditions. Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice that has a variety of techniques, including posture (asana), breathing (pranayama), and meditation. The practice of yoga can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, which is important for overcoming insomnia. Yoga and meditation provide benefits such as improving sleep quality, reducing anxiety and stress, increasing awareness of the body, and improving emotional balance. Yoga and meditation should be considered as complementary to other approaches in the treatment of insomnia, such as lifestyle changes, stress management, and if necessary, the use of therapy or medical treatment. To get the maximum benefits, it is important to practice yoga and meditation regularly. This can be done by scheduling a specific time each day to practice. This counselling aims to increase public understanding of the importance of doing yoga and traditional meditation regularly as an alternative solution to the problem of insomnia sleep disorder

Abstract

Insomnia is a sleep disorder that affects a person's quality of life, lowers daily performance, and is even associated with long-term health problems such as depression, anxiety, and heart problems. Nowadays, many individuals are looking for non-drug alternatives to overcome insomnia. One of the increasingly popular approaches is yoga and meditation. This study aims to find out the relationship between yoga practice and meditation on insomnia. A prospective cohort study in the population of DHSP Bali who experienced insomnia with an age range of 18–80 years during the period April to July 2025. The average age of the sample was 49.71 years (SD±12.95) (p = 0.084) with 16 males (57.1%) and 12 females (42.9%). The average ISI score before meditation and yoga was 15.21 (SD±4.55) (p = 0.090) and the ISI score after meditation and yoga was 12.14 (SD±4.56) (p = 0.067). There was an average mean difference of 3.071 points between the ISI scores before and after yoga and meditation practice for 3 consecutive months. An improvement in the average ISI score before and after intensive yoga and meditation practice twice every week for 3 months was shown to improve insomnia complaints. Regular yoga-meditation practice demonstrates statistically significant efficacy in reducing insomnia severity through mechanisms including parasympathetic activation, increased GABA levels, and positive neuroplastic changes in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, providing evidence-based support for integrative non-pharmacological insomnia management.
