The natural onset of feeling tired.
خلفية ثقافية
The afternoon nap (Qailulah) is a sunnah and a cultural staple. Saying 'Mujhe neend aa rahi hai' after lunch is very common. Insomnia is a sign of being in love. If a hero says 'Mujhe neend nahi aati', he is usually thinking of his beloved. It is considered polite to tell a guest 'Agar aap ko neend aa rahi ہے تو آرام کریں' (If you're sleepy, please rest). Late-night tea (Chai) culture in cities like Karachi is a way to fight 'Neend aana' and stay social.
The 'Ko' Rule
Always remember that feelings in Urdu use 'ko'. If you forget 'ko', the sentence won't make sense.
Gender Agreement
Even if you are a man, you must say 'aa rahi hai' because 'Neend' is feminine.
