I took a sleep pill two nights ago to try to get more sleep and OMG I felt like a zombie(didnt get to sleep any quicker) and learned the hard way trying to mess with getting more sleep :lol:

I had a simpler way of getting sleep in school days , studying the most boring subjects . It gave me instant sleep :sleep:

Well i'm a girl so I'm not really into heavy lifting (builing houses) etc! I do exercise but have been slack lately and have come home from work and uni really tired, done housework but that doesn't help either, i think it's just one of those things, it's prob because I think alot before I sleep aswell!

I think you've answered your own question, me thinks.

to understand the concept of sleep everyone who is living out of india having electricity 24 hours shoudl either come to india and live in some village or quit the use of light for few days and think they have traveled in gurujis time ... then people didnt had any clocks they sleep when sun set that makes 7 o clock in india currently ... and wakes up as per sikh rehat 2 hours before sun rises that makes around 3 30 ... that was the condition during guru jis time and even today in villages ... 7 pm to 3 am that makes how many hours i dont know much calculation ... but it must be easy to calculate ... this was the life style ...

everyone just think lets say there will be no electricity for next 4 days no source of light other then fire ... i didnt think anyone of us have even a single reason why they need to wake up after sun sets ...

Interesting. I want to ask, in those times, how could they do their nitnem, without light? with fire?

People had nitnem and a lot of other bani's memorized. We have gotten lazy and complacent, we don't even try to memorize any bani. Think about it, if you had the entire nitnem memorized, you could be anywhere and still be able to do your nitnem. If you are going to school or work, this could save you 40 minutes easily as you don't even have to sit down to do your nitnem. You could do it while you are on the bus!

I'm trying to stay awake alnight and right now its about exactly 3.00am, my eyes are burning all I got to do is ps3 and I got college tomorrow. Im doing things, that I normally don't do like put my stuff in alphabetic order. strange

That's so weird, I went to sleep at 2am and woke up half an hr ago at 3:30am. I can't go back to sleep so I was thinking of staying awake for the rest of the day aswell. I have an early start though and have so much to do and I don't know how I'm going to be able to achieve anything today....I'm really scared because I can't afford to sleep during the day :umm:

I hate waking up randomly in the night!

Hmm im going to lie back down! :)

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
