How much sleep does the body really need? weneneva i wake up for amritvela, i always find that i have to have a nap after simran or later in the day.bcos i just get 2 tired.

it varies with individuals. you have to find what works for YOU. play around n see what works, n stick to that.

i need about 7, i can do with 6, but thats about it. and dont think u can take "naps" durin the day. thats not healhty. a good nite's sleep is essential for health

Everyones personal sleep requirements are different, some people are happy with 5 hours other people need at least 8.

Some people can't sleep after their amritvela or they get a headache, other people need that sleep or they end up getting one!

So the key is work out what is best for you. Experiment doing a week with each routine and see which one fits you best. Listen to your body - if you are feeling tired all day you need to alter your routine.

Although having a routine and sticking to it is really important too. Every day we should be trying to go to sleep and wake up at around the same time.

Hope this is of help.

BUT if you can't get enough sleep at night (even though it is best) then naps ARE okay...

8 Hours of sleep is recommended medically, as sleeping for less than that can increase the risk of diabetes.

Although, it can vary between individuals. The point is, not to over-stress your body with lack of sleep.

Yes, as Papi says (cant spell your new name sori!) Naps won't do - Your mind needs to go through the cycles of sleep which includes periods of REM etc.. Wikipedia "sleep" if you want to know more.

Personally, sleeping after doing nitnem yields nothing. I can have up to 45minute's nap but thats it. After that my body gets confused what day it is/if i should feel hungry or not lol

Just stay healthy.. If you want to wake up early, then SLEEP EARLY!

Gurmat is way beyond science. The recommened amout of sleep I think we need is between 5-7 hours. Therefore I think we should all be in bed by 10.15. Then wake up for amrit vela. Then go back to sleep and enjoy the rest of the day at work.

the best way to get around this dilemma is going to be over a slow time period, u cant just start waking up 1am eveyday out of no where you'll just crumble like crisps. you have to do it step by step, first thing you need to sacrifice one days sleep in order to go to sleep early the next day, i would say om the first day sleep at 10 and wake up at around 3, but then the following night you'll be dying to sleep early say at around 9, and therefore wake up 5 on that day, and keeep that routine going but just gradually reduce the wake up time by a couple of minutes each day and at that rate you're body will also get used to it, my advice would be to reduce it by about 2 minutes each day, so in one month instead of waking up at 5am, you'll be waking up at 4. and you'll be fine once you get to between 3o clock and 4 o clock stop reducing the wake up time unless you want to add to your nitnem in that case keep it going and hopefullly one day you'll be doing panj granthee:D:D everyday 1am lol easier said than done thoo

      why dasam granth bani is not included in guru granth sahib

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us.

      Mri Scan And Kakaars

      By v.singh · Posted

      My wife will be going for an MRI scan next week but her Kara won’t physically come off.  Is there any way the mri scan can be done with the Kara still on?  The alternative is we will have to try to saw it off before the scan.

      Dasvandh

      By BhForce · Posted

      Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.

      Gurbani Paath is NOT enough

      By BhForce · Posted

      No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
