Summary

Sound sleep is needed for our overall health and optimum our productivity. Sleep quality affects people's work performance, mood, safety, and quality of life. Changing times and advancements in technology couples with altered lifestyles have taken a toll on human health. Poor sleep quality reduces short-term memory, cognitive abilities, and motor skills for all age groups. The high prevalence of poor sleep quality in every age group has triggered a growing worldwide demand for a safe, effective and easily available herbal cure. Studies shown that, E. hirta has sedative action. For this, I hypothesized that oral intake of aqueous extract (tea) of E.hirta is efficacious in improving sleep quality.

In this study I assessed the efficacy of aqueous extract (tea) of Euphorbia hirta (Dudhiya) in improving sleep quality in persons aged 20 to 50 years with self-reported sleep disturbance.

The main objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of oral intake of aqueous extract of E.hirta in improving sleep quality in terms of having regular sound sleep and freshness in the daytime work.
