I personally think it's wrong to go back to sleep after morning banis. It should be the start of your day, not the end (or else Guru Sahib would have made you do them at night!)

But in the end it's your nitnem, your discipline, and your relationship with Maharaj. I know I can stay up because I'm just hyper all day long, but that's not the case with everyone. With some Sikhs, their schedules dont allow them to just stay awake.

Whatever floats your boat!!!

Basicall y your day is divided into 8 sections of three hours each (in Gurbani you may have heard of the term aath paher).

Amrit Vela consists of the 2nd paher of the day, which is 3-6 am.

[singh di fauj]

You love being in the RAJAI during winters, don't you . There are places on earth where sunrises @ 4am, Rabb de rang ne. Dekhi chalo kudrat de najre te gayi jao Waheguru de gunn.

amritvela is not just a time frame, basically any time during the day or night, one is "connected" with waheguru is amrtivela because at that time that being is tasting amrit :TH:

also, early morning hours is the easiest time to feel waheguru.
