We picked up the query from early Buddhism Q&A of Albomulle Sumanasara Thero October 1st, 2020 @ Gothami vihara
Q. Many Japanese people die from overwork. So, it’s a little difficult for me to understand that sleep is not needed so much even if it’s not the case of short sleepers. Do you mean that meditating and erasing desires decrease the fatigue of the brain and make us short sleepers?
