1.1 Psychological problems in college students There is a review article which report that mental disorders are as prevalent among college students and these disorders appear to be increasing in number and severity. The college years represent a developmentally challenging transition to adulthood, and untreated mental illness may have significant implications for academic success, productivity, substance use, and social relationships1 there is another Cross-sectional studies which indicate a high prevalence of mental health problems among college students. It is stated there is to be a relatively large proportion of students with mental health problems that are more than transient issues related to adjustments or other temporary factors2 1.2 mindfulness in college students There was Evidence based research suggests that meditation-based stress-management practices reduce stress and enhance forgiveness among college undergraduates. Because stress is a major issue for college students as they cope with a variety of academic, social, and personal challenges. Most first-year undergraduates are living apart from their parents for the first time. More advanced undergraduates face continuing pressure for academic performance as well as difficult career choices and job search issues.3 There is a research based growing evidence that indfulness-based therapies may be effective in treating a variety of disorders including stress, substance abused, depression and anxiety among college students.4 1.3 Distress in college student There is a research which reported that as family dysfunction increased, participants reported less parental attachment and more interpersonal distress. Also research has documented that securely attached individuals display less emotional distress and negative affect. The attachment dimensions of anxiety and avoidance are positively linked to indices of psychological distress such as emotional distress and nervousness, general distress symptoms and depression and anxiety.5 Studies suggest the current educational process may have an inadvertent negative effect on students’ mental health, with a high frequency of depression, anxiety, and stress among medical students. There is research which postulated that burnout, a measure of distress common among residents and physicians in practice, has its origin in medical school. A number of factors—including academic pressure, workload, financial concerns, sleep deprivation, exposure to patients’ suffering and deaths, student abuse, and a “hidden curriculum” of cynicism. 1.4 Self- control in college student Self-regulation and self-control are crucial for success in many life domains. College students with high self-control have better psychological adjustment, better interpersonal relationships, and better performance on achievement-related tasks and self-control appears to be a better predictor of academic performance than even intelligence .People with high self-control also have lower alcohol and substance use, lower rates of crime and delinquency, better self-assessed health, and better health behaviors.7 self -efficacy has been related to persistence, tenacity, and achievement in educational settings A meta-analysis of research in educational settings found that self-efficacy was related both to academic performance and to persistence (r = .34). The contribution of self-efficacy to educational achievement is based both on the increased use of specific cognitive activities and strategies and on the positive impact of efficacy beliefs on the broader, more general classes of metacognitive skills and coping abilities.

Atman is associated with the waking, the dreaming and the deep sleep states. Finally these states are merged in Turiya, the Ultimate Reality. Atman becomes identical with Brahman – the invisible, the transcendent, the incomprehensible, and the cessation of all phenomena, the blissful - when Atman, the Om, merges his Self in the Self and attains Self-realization, which is the Ultimate Reality. Even when we are asleep, the process of the mind can cause disturbances in the field of our mind. The yogis who experience high states of consciousness tell us they are ‘awake’ even in ‘deep sleep’, but most of us are not aware of this. Sleep disorders make a disturbance in consciousness. There is four state of consciousness which is conscious, sub conscious, unconscious and super conscious mind. So it means someone who has sleep disorder, they cannot reach to the unconscious mind and reach to the deep silence state like a Moksha, Samadhi state. With treatment of disease, they can reach to the Moksha state and get peaceful state in their physical to intellect state. Deep sleep terminates and the self returns to the dream and the waking states. In deep sleep there is no consciousness of objects but this objective consciousness is present in an unmanifested ‘seed’ form in deep sleep while it is completely transcended in the turiya consciousness. In the state of deep sleep, it becomes the subject confronting the object which is yet unmanifested. We infer the presence of the object, as its developments take place in getting out of sleep.
