jack hammer Posted November 7, 2020 I found two different and unrelated instances of buddhist monks not-sleeping.According to my info they really didnt sleep,as opposed to being short sleepers. Quote Seongcheol was known to have practiced this for eight years after his enlightenment. He reportedly never once laid down and denied sleeping at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seongcheol  Quote He was reputed to be an arahant (fully enlightened one), and it is said that he never slept. ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webu_Sayadaw  Is this true/valid? can practioners of yoga or qi-gong subdue the need for sleep(and if so;what do they replace the valuable experience of dreaming with?)

It was well documented that Sri Aurobindo didn’t sleep for around 30 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
