@dandelion with a bell call at 4am, definitely means less sleep… 😅

and with intensive periods of practice, the benefits of meditation means that both mind and body need less sleep to recuperate. pretty obvious. still not a negative ‘side effect’.

thanks for the article 🙏

@dandelion @alf
insomnia is not a side effect of meditation. you may experience higher levels of energy and therefore need less sleep. but this effect would not last.

most likely, there are underlying causes to your insomnia that get worse because vipassana meditation requires you to work through such issues. and this would be the same with therapy, or any other method that ultimately would lead to your well being.

moreover, nothing is permannent… anicca…
