Abstract

A recent study conducted by Alzahra University in Tehran, Iran, delves into the nature and mechanism of sleep as described by Avicenna in his works. Avicenna's exploration of sleep from philosophical, psychological, and medical perspectives sheds light on its importance and therapeutic applications, particularly in understanding altered states of perception. The research highlights Avicenna's pioneering insights into hypnotic sleep and its potential benefits for treating disorders like melancholy. This peer-reviewed study offers valuable insights into the historical understanding of sleep and its impact on human health and well-being. [Extracted from the article]
