Abstract

Background: Declining sleep quality among young-adult population is becoming a problem of concern in the current scenario. This may be due to various factors like social and academic demands, which lead to an irregular sleeping pattern. Moreover, sleep inadequacy leads to daily dysfunction of the individual and creates both physical and psychological impairment of the latter. Due to such health habits, it has been estimated that two-thirds of the world‘s population seek health care from sources other than conventional bio-medicine. Apart from some very-well known treatments, people don‘t seek out other potentially benefiting treatment methods. One such unfamiliar therapy is ‗Pranic Healing‘.
Aim: To empirically prove the competence of ‗Pranic Healing‘ in treating minor aliments like sleep and associated disturbance like sleep latency, habitual sleep efficiency etc.
Method: The target population for this study are only female adults, aged between 19-22 years, with inadequate quality of sleep. The research design implemented here is PretestPost-test Randomized Experimental-Controldesign‖, with purposive sampling technique. From a total of 73 individuals, 32 participants were identified ofsuffering from inadequate and moderately poor quality of sleep. The sleep variable was assessed using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (1988). The selected sample were divided into experimental and control groups with 16 in each, and individually they were subjected to 4 sessions of pranic healing.
Results:Findings show a notable difference in the mean values of experimental group i.e. 14.31 in pre-test and
3.87 in post-test. Existence of such high mean difference implies the effectiveness of the intervention on the
experimental group in the post-test. Whereas in control group, mean values of pre-test and post-test i.e. 12.68
and 11.00, suggest that there is no significant difference found between them, in turn inferring the same level of
symptoms among the participants.
Conclusion: Based on this study, in future, various minor ailments can be treated and cured without modern
medicines and its side-effects. Also, pranic healing enhances the overall body endurance and resistance against
diseases in the near future. This no-touch is also cost effective and healthier than most of the treatment
procedures.
