Prev     Next

  • Many of us have the habit of waking up to the sound of the alarm clock. When we are in deep sleep in the morning, when our entire body is sleeping peacefully and calmly, suddenly we are forced to wake up when the alarm clock sounds loud. If our sleep is interrupted by the alarm clock in this way, our body gets affected it gets a kind of tension. This tension will prevail in us throughout that day. Therefore, please do not use the alarm clock to wake up.
  • Just think. What would have happened if the alarm clock had not sounded? We would have slept for about two m o r e h o u r s . What does this m e a n ? T h i s means that our body needs two more hours of sleep. When our body needs more sleep, if we cut it short and wake up who will make up for that sleep? If we wake up every day using alarm clock and cut two or three hours of our sleeping time, after some time, we might be forced to go into sleep forever.
  • So, please do not use the alarm clock. Some people may ask, “We have to get up early. How can we get up without using an alarm clock?” We get and give lot of advice that we have to get up early in the morning. But nobody advises that we have to go to bed early every night.
  • We can get up early in the morning only if we go to the bed early in the night. It is our mistake to do unnecessary things such as watching television, movies, etc. up to 1.00 am or 2.00 am in the night and then go to bed late. Why do you think that even if a person goes to bed at 2.00 am in the night he should get up early in the morning? If a person goes to bed late he has to get up from the bed late only. According to the time by which we have to get up in the morning, we have to go to bed about 8 hours in advance.
  • Therefore, we have to understand that using an alarm clock is dangerous and we should use the alarm clock only occasionally, that too only for emergency purposes and not on a daily basis.
  • There is a simple solution for those who have a lot of confusion in their mind and do not get sleep for a long time in the night. Rest will be obtained only in a slow manner if we lie down and rest. But, if we sit and take rest, we will get rest fast.
  • T h o s e w h o d o n o t g e t s l e e p immediately after going to bed can try to sleep by sitting instead of lying down fully, by being in a slanting position, giving some support to our back and our head, closing the eyes, calmly stretching the legs or folding the legs in a squatting position. If we sleep in a sitting posture, our mind and brain sort themselves out very quickly and we will immediately get sleep.
  • Those who worry that they are not getting sleep can sleep well by massaging the top of the head using the top of their index finger. In Acupuncture, this point is called DU-20. In Varma treatment, this point is called Kondai Kolli.
  • The crown of the head is the point where 72000 nerves join. By applying the power at this point, and by massaging, touching and thinking about this point, we can pacify 72000 nerves. During night time, in case we do not get sleep, we can massage the crown of our head by ourselves and we can get sleep. When children have diseases or they keep crying when they not able to sleep, if we massage the crown of their head, they get calmed down and get sleep.
  • The glands in the body concerned with sleeping can be made to secrete by slightly massaging the bone below our jaw using the ends of the three fingers other than the little finger and thumb of our hand.
  • You may observe that children who prepare for exams do not feel sleepy when they keep walking or sitting and study. But if they lie down on their stomach, keeping the two wrists as support to their jaws and study, they get sleep within half an hour. Therefore, when you do not get sleep, if you lie down on your stomach, close your eyes, and keep the two wrists as support to the jaws, you will start sleeping very soon.
