Scientific research suggests that yoga may assist in improving sleep quality and managing insomnia. A systematic review encompassing 19 studies and 1,832 participants found that yoga can enhance subjective sleep quality, though effects were not uniform across all groups or in relation to the severity of insomnia.

A 2025 meta-analysis regarding movement types for people with insomnia indicated that yoga could potentially increase sleep duration and reduce the time required to fall asleep. Additionally, early positive results have been observed for Yoga Nidra, a guided form of deep relaxation.
