Sleep is a state of decreased alertness, which is regulated by circadian rhythm. Sleep is essential for our survival as we spend one-third of our life in sleep. Sleep maintains physical and mental health and contributes to well-being. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of vestibular stimulation on selected behavioral parameters in young adults. A total of 300 (130 males and 170 females) young adults were screened. 240 (120 males and 120 females) participants satisfying both inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. A detailed medical history was obtained from all participants and standard physical examination was conducted. Written informed consent was obtained from all the participants included in the study. The present study results support beneficial effects of vestibular stimulation in limiting stress induced changes on sleep quality and eating behavior. The study recommends adoption of vestibular stimulation in everyday life style for better quality of life.
