According to Ayurveda, sleep and other bodily functions are determined by the three constitutional types of doshas. The three doshas  are vata (wind) pitta (fire) and kapha (water and earth).
Sleep is dominated by kapha which creates the heavy feeling of tiredness. Charaka Samhita, the ancient text on Ayurveda mentions six types of sleep. According to the text sleep may be due to natural sleep without external imbalances, depression, increased kapha caused by eating an excess of foods like chocolate, cheese or fried food ,exhaustion of mind and body caused by excessive physical work, chronic disease, imbalance or injuring in the body.
