CrazyfoxAli Posted August 26 How much time does a Tao Bum sleep if a Tao Bum could sleep deep? Time under tension. Quality over quantity is king. Why try to sleep if yer not tired, why try not to sleep if you are? And such... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not enough Sleeping for less than six hours may cause early death, study finds What say ye fellow asses? - i mean bums. How much do you need, and what have you read/heard of the Masters and high level practitioners? Love, love, love. Langster. This was a post from 2011, but I'll answer it now. Keep in mind, I'm an athlete. My friend, sleeping anywhere less than nine hours a night is not enough to make you stronger. lol. The only reason to not sleep that much is because of work schedule. Other than that, people need to sleep for a lot of hours to stay healthy and fully functional. Very few exceptions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And there were moments in my life when I did more QiGong, conserved my energy and I was sleeping like 7h every night, actually there was so much energy that it was hard to sleep in the first place so I probably slept less than that. What I'm tying to say is that maybe it all depends on how much depleted you are on you energy level, at least that's what happens to me.

Thrice Daily Posted September 18 I slept on hard floor for a year now. Usually alarm set for 8 hours, 6-7.5 hours sleep. You know you wake a lot more on the hard floor. Good for meditation. I started setting my clock for 10 hours. More time for meditation/prayer and still 8 hours for sleep Bonus... Recovery from hard training is also much easier.

Interesting, some years ago I tried it for a month but it actually made me sleep more than usual haha But if it works for you that's great, there's some people on Youtube claiming that this is the best way to sleep, but unfortunately I had no results with it I had a very soft matress, that's why I tried. But after a month I just bought a new and harder matress and then I slept better, so it does make sense that to sleep on a hard surface improves sleep, but maybe the floor was too hard for me and it had the reverse effect haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a different kind of luxury. im super strict about sleep these days. In my raving days I would typically be awake three days at a time. I did five and a half days awake once, had a ten minute nap then continued for another few days awake. Probably wouldn’t recommend It, but I was 18, what did I know?? It’s good if you want to push the boundaries of what’s possible, as I say though probably wouldn’t recommend. Yoga Nidra though, highly recommend. Ally on YouTube is excellent. 20-30 minutes guided are brilliant many for ‘middle of the night’ too my favourite is the one with the red sky thumbnail. Hope you try Lukks, I think you might like Yoga Nidra… click the link and check her playlists, she has lots. And I’m 99% certain her ❤️ is in the right place… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
