Brief Summary   COIVD19, a pandemic of 2020 is requiring dedicated professional health care workers due to highly contagious nature of this disease. Due to this, COVID warriors are experiencing emotional and psychological problems like stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia including post traumatic stress disorders. Among many therapies (psychotherapy and Mind Body Therapy) available including Yoganidra have been studied and documented to decrease stress and anxiety, and improve general well being among PTSD and insomnia patients. However, search for effect of Yoganidra on covid19 warriors is not available in the literature (PUBMED). Hence, a pilot study is planned to assess the impact of Yoganidra. This study is an open label randomized controlled trials. It consists of 2 groups each 30 participants: a) Yoganidra group and b) Sleep relaxation group. Health care workers having covid duty will be contacted telephonically 1 day prior to start of duty and study will be explained in detail. Consented participants will be block randomized and allotted to particular therapy. They will be given respective therapy demonstration and video link of each therapy will be sent to them. Baseline characteristics, GAD-7 scale, PHQ-9 scale and Insomnia Severity Index score will be recorded. They will be given respective therapy during covid duty and during quarantine period if quarantine is applicable as per hospital policy. GAD-7 scale, PHQ-9 scale and Insomnia Severity Index scores will be assessed at the end of covid duty and quarantine period and compared to the baseline between intra-group and inter-groups. Outcomes will be assessed for level of Depression, Anxiety and Insomnia among covid health care workers over the period in both the groups.
