Sleep disturbances are a major cause of mental and physical health, with traditional treatments often resulting in limited success. This systematic review examines the role of diverse yoga practices in improving sleep quality and alleviating insomnolent thoughts. By blending evidence from studies published between 2010 and 2024, this review evaluates how yoga interventions, like “Hatha, Kundalini, and Restorative Yoga”, influence key psychological mechanisms underneath sleep disorders. The findings highlighted that yoga enhances sleep by reducing stress, modulating the autonomic nervous system, and promoting mindfulness. Specific yoga techniques, including pranayama (breathing exercises), asanas (postures), and meditation, are highlighted for their efficacy in addressing sleep onset latency and improving overall sleep duration and quality. The review identifies gaps in the current literature, such as variability in study designs, intervention duration, and participant demographics, which limit the generalizability of findings. Recommendations for integrating yoga into clinical and community settings to combat insomnia are provided, along with suggestions for future research to explore long-term impacts and individualized interventions.
