Dear Udayashankar,
Glad to see your mail and your indulgence with the teachings of VaLLalaar.
A day of 24 hours is made up of 60 Naazhikais; i.e One Naazhikai is 24 minutes.
Tierdness is mostly mental than physical. Even though one can limit hours of deep sleep according to age and mental/physical exertion, proper rest and recreation are essential to keep up fitness. We can be mentally alert, and physically relaxed and vise versa. As one ages up the hours of sleep needed reduces. There are three stages, 1. Deep sleep 2. The brain only is awake and 3. Dreamy half sleep stage.
For example at the age past 75 there are many people who sleep for less than 4 hours at night, with a nap for a hour in the afternoon, and keep themselves busy for over 16 hours.
People in the fields of medicine and psychology, and books on these topics will be able to through more light.
Thanks Yours J.Narayanasamy

Subject: [vallalargroups:1926] Vallalar on sleep
| Vanakkam. I read our Vallalar's statement on sleep. He had advised to minimize sleep and spend more time in thavam and other sanmarga activities. Most importantly, Vallalar had said, "If one sleeps for just two-and-half naaligai everyday he/she will live for thousand years." This comes in his Saahakkalvi. Very inspiring!! Can you please help with my following doubts? 1) How many hours is two-and-half naaligai? Is one naaligai equal to two-and-half hours? 2) When we minimize sleep we feel tired (perhaps in the beginning this is so) and energy level is not that high. How to overcome this? I understand that if one is really committed and passionate in sanmargam, all obstacles can be overcome. But in the initial stages the enthusiasm is inconsistent and tiredness creeps in stealthily. Kindly enlighten with practical tips. Warm regards, Udayashankar. எல்லா உயிர்களும் இன்புற்று வாழ்க அருட்பெருஞ்ஜோதி அருட்பெருஞ்ஜோதி தனிப்பெருங்கருணை அருட்பெருஞ்ஜோதி |
