Can meditation
replace sleep?
Meditation
can help sleep to become more effective. It can help us to sleep
deeper. In a very short period of time, one can refresh one 5
awareness through meditation and allow us to make the most of
our time of sleep. Together with meditation, sleep can be minimized.
However, there are still some people in my experience who require
no sleep at all, but only need meditation to keep their body and
mind refreshed all the time. Even the Lord Buddha himself spent
four hours asleep each night. However, there were some of his
disciples who spent most of their time during the night contemplating
in meditation without going to bed.
