Although some say so, that answer is false, no, there absolutely no sleep side affects of meditation. -Chorka Wolffe
yoga and meditation
Meditation, when done properly, will revive you in the same way a nap does. Turning down thoughts allows your body to relax to the point as one does when sleeping.
ASMR and meditation are similar because both of them relax the mind and cause nice tingling sensations through the body. They are both used as a sleep and calming aid.
Kel'nor'reem is a technique used by the Jaffa, similar to meditation, to synchronize with the symbiote, replacing the need for sleep.
Also called Yogi sleep. It's when someone is in a conscious deep sleep during meditation. The practice of yoga relaxation has been known to reduce tension anxiety.
Sleep can be divided into five phases, or stages. The first four are numbered 1-4, and the last one is REM. Natural sleep, one that does not involve the use of drugs of any kind, has all five stages. The stage four part of sleep is when your body repairs itself and can only be reached through natural sleep. Also, your muscles become paralyzed during REM sleep. The main thing is in sleep one becomes unaware. Thoughts happen, dreams happen, images pass through the mind, but for the most part, there is no awareness of these things. When meditating, these things happen, but there is a witness, a watcher on the hill: there is awareness of what is happening in the body-mind. Meditation is great for keeping calm during waking hours, but is not a substitute for 7-8 hours of good natural sleep. Though meditation may help someone calm their mind so they get a better nights sleep, it is only natural sleep that has a deep delta sleep as in stage four non-REM sleep.
Going to sleep while listening to music is completely safe. Sometimes, people listen to educational books or meditation soundtracks while trying to sleep. It is completely harmless, provided the sound is not too loud.
Transcendental meditation involves using mantra or sound to reduce stress and help one relax. Transcendental meditation started to be used in 1965 and has even been taught in schools.
The word 'sleep' is both a verb and a noun. Examples: I usually sleep all night. (verb) My father would tell us that the sleep you get before midnight is the sleep that counts. (noun)
often a meditation will assist in your endeavor of a good nights sleep a very good one can be found on itunes in the podcast section it is by a station called "meditation station" and is called "ZZZZZZZZZZZ..." but it only works if you relax and follow the instructions if not you sit and laugh at it (trust me) but when it works it works beautifully and you get a VERY good nights sleep also very useful for insomniacs
