Hi/Sat Siri Akaal

You are all great people. I need your help. I sleep extensively. I have a hard time staying awake even after 8 hours of sleep . could somebody provide me with some Shabad or meditation to stay awake, please.
Thank you for your time

(REPLY) Sat Nam. The first thing you need to check up on is your physical condition. You want a Shabd or a meditation, but you do have to deal with your pphyscial body as well. For one thing, don't eat for at least 3 hours before you go to sleep at night. And what are you eating? Your diet can have an effect on your need for sleep. How old are you? Under 18 you may need more sleep that an older person. Are you having trouble meditating in the Amrit Vela, or just staying awake in school? there are exercises that you can do what may help, but I need to hear from you first with more details of your problem. (parwha@earthlink.net ) Meanwhile, certainly call on Guru Ram Das, DHAN DHAN RAM DAS GUR, JIN SIRIAA TINEH SAVAARIA - for a "miracle" to help you solve this problem! SP
