 Q. Could you please say something about insomnia? I've been suffering insomnia for nearly sixty years. So could you give me some feasible instructions? Sadhguru- Insomnia may be occurring for various reasons. There are some people who are sleeping well, but they don't know that they're sleeping well. There are some people who are not able to sleep well because maybe their body needs a certain amount of rest and they believe it needs more. So they're just working themselves up. I've met so many people who are quite okay, but they think they're not sleeping enough because doctors prescription of eight hours, they're not sleeping. They're sleeping only four hours. They're well, it's okay. If you're well, you're not sleep deprived and you're sleeping three, four hours a day, it's perfectly fine. That's a good condition to be in. Or there are people who are unable to sleep because of their psychological situations. There are certain people who are not able to sleep because of their cellular or genetic situation. Only if you are like that, it's a… it's a hard thing to fix, which you are not, okay? You are not genetically in that state or in a cellular way, your body cells will not allow you to sleep for some reason. There are many reasons as to why. So if you're not able to sleep, I think you should join our garden department. And our day, ten hours a day you work outside, you'll fall asleep. Very. If that doesn't work, the simpler way is if you get initiated into Shunya meditation, the Shambhavi should do it. For most people, Shambhavi does this. If it did not work for you, if you're initiated into Shunya meditation, you will see it'll correct the sleep disorder if there is a sleep disorder. You're looking quite… quite fine and happy. And if you're happy, not sleeping, it's great. Yes, because sleep is death. Every day people are dying for six hours or eight hours or four hours. What's your choice? Less death or more death per day? Less death is good, isn't it? Only if it's causing health problems, you're distressed. Then, if you're going like this at work time, that your machine is not smooth, sleep is a kind of lubrication too for the system. Not enough sleep means everything becomes frictious within you. So if such frictious situations are happening, there are things to do. One thing is there's Chandrakund here. Stay there. Fifteen-twenty minutes every day, you will see the body will cool down. It'll be well lubricated and you will see the frictious nature of your mind and body will go. After… if that is gone, how long your sleep is not an issue, not at all. Not every human being needs to sleep for the same period of time. It's a very wrong notion. Different people need different levels of sleep. And one aspect of yoga or one focus of yoga is to how to reduce sleep. Because sleep is skipping life, isn't it? People say, I enjoy sleep. Nobody can enjoy sleep. You enjoy the restfulness that sleep gives you. There is no way to enjoy life because in sleep both you and the world are obliterated. That is, if you're really sleeping. So early morning, five-thirty, you're pretending to sleep. That may be joy. That may be a pleasure. I understand that. When the bell is ringing, you are just pretending to sleep. That's a pleasure. I cannot deny that. But when you're really sleeping, you don't know what it is. You're not even there. So you cannot enjoy sleep. But the result of sleep is something we enjoy. What sleep does to us in terms of relaxation, in terms of restfulness, in terms of regeneration of the system that we enjoy. So if your regeneration is really good, it may so happen the volume of sleep that you need will come down dramatically. There is one aspect. I think the other day somebody was asking me about the pineal gland. If the pineal secretions increase, this is generally in India, it's called amruta or the elixir of life. If amruta begins to flow, one thing that will happen is sleep will go down because sleep is death. If on a certain day it flows too much, you can't sleep at all. This is a normal thing. So for whatever reason you're sleeping or not sleeping or not sleeping enough, if that's the issue, you check in the morning how you are. If you're feeling wonderful and you're active through the day, forget about sleep. If you can go without sleep and you're very well, what's the problem? Well, that won't happen right now. But if it happens, what is the issue I'm asking? Only if you don't know how to handle life, you want to sleep 12 hours a day, isn't it? It's a way of escaping. If you're intending to sleep long without purpose, in a way it's a suicide. You need the rest and you sleep, that's fine. Body needs rest. So, either garden department or shunya meditation, one of these things will find solution for you.
