Any military man will tell you this is true. All you need is 4 hours of continuous uninterrupted sleep to function. And maybe one or two 20 min power naps.

I'm so glad Sadhduru agrees with me on this. People say It's unhealthy that I don't sleep much, I say it's unhealthy that they do

You know, when you sleep in the afternoon for about,say, 3 hours then wake up and wonder how many days you've been sleeping. Yes. That's the kind of sleep you need , A SHORT AND MINDFUL SLEEP. Not a long one. The QUALITY of the sleep is more important than the QUANTITY

I'm usually asleep by 12am, sometimes 1am when I'm kept up by a friend or family member, & up by 4:30am.

I don't see how this can help me sleep less though??

Thank you Sadhguru and would love to shake your hand one day! You remind me of my dad so much, especially when he laughs!

I suspect they might be physical and breathing exercises, certain foods and meditation. Fast walking, special breathing exercises which are part of pranayama, certain fruits and vegetables, and meditation are awesome. Consistently fall asleep between 9pm and 10pm turning off all lights and meditating for 20 mins before you go to bed is very powerful. Try it, you might like it.

If you make yourself a certain way, anyone can sleep for 5 hours or less, and even be more exuberant and live in a much better way.

THANK YOU SADHGURU. WILL JOIN YOUR INNER ENGINEERING COURSE NXT YEAR AND LOOKING FWD TO IT. JAI SRI RAM

he basically said one can adapt to anything if they put their mind to it

I so adore these videos and am so what he speaks of most of my life. Did not even know that I had so much engineering in my mind and spirit most of my life, even as a kid!

Loving it! This appears to be in alignment with what I have been perceiving for a while now.

Very good. Thank you Sir.

Don't insult someone who is mountains of levels higher than you on consciousness.

Your Breath, your Thought and your Awareness

Wonderful video. Toug-che-che.

Wake me up when he comes to a point.

only who attended the program know and understand it why it is offered the way it is.offered

What were the 3 things he was talking about?

one day I slept 26 hours and after waking up i thought that i just slept 2 hours :/ PS - it should be " two days I.... :p"

Every thing cannot be disseminated in a video . It requires committed atmosphere, in ancient times disciples spent and served their masters for years before getting initiated that was the conviction they had.

You don't believe it then just try it, eat way less calories but better quality food and I guarantee you will sleep less and better. Also eat most of the calories in the morning.

is there a full version on this video online?

What they say in India from what I understand is to NOT sleep with your head to the north. Any other direction will do. He does talk about this in another video.

Its very good for people...... lord to everyone

he did tell u.align ur body,mind and emotional level or energy.but to the ego this seems difficult which in my opinion is why its missed as being 3 simple things to do.we also know ur comment was a year ago so who knows u maybe got this already.but just incase..I love you whoever u are...

Thank you sir! although I sleep just as long I do feel more fresh when I wake up

really?? youre building up the suspense here & really getting me interested

How can i know about that "content of the Inner Engineering Program"?

i believe the REM cycle is something more like an hour & a half actually.. but i have had such 2 hr-ish naps, & they actually work wonders

God damnit I wish there were a majority of the people in the U.S. that said this.

doot agree with this view as if we keep anything properly and with care it would last long.if we keep using any thing continuously we will buren it early.depreciation will be more. it also true for eatings and breathing. who eats less and breaths long lives long.so who sleeps enough will live long. THAT IS FOR SURE.

appparentlly, the only sleep you need is REM.

Can anyone who was there name the three things he said at the inner engineering thing?

how to join inner engineering program

i have no idea.. but one thing he talk about is to put your head towards north when sleeping.. doubt its gonna reduce one's sleeping hours dramatically tho

proud to have u sadguru

what is the answer guru gee

wow where r the steps,

What if the father fits in the mother role

if those 3 tricks such simple techniques, why don't swami provide in the video.

I tend to get 6 hours a night.

It's important to be thankful for everything you receive & experience, Then life becomes a gift. It's important to learn from all the hardships you may encounter, Then you secure your life progression. It's important to be a giving and sharing personality, Then you can receive. There is nothing important, only wise and in your own and others best interest, And life will be good. These are the steps that brought me to another level of being. I sleep maybe 4hrs per day, or less.

Majestic

his voice is very relaxing

do i have to buy it from somewhere? which part of inner engineering has the part on sleep?

this reminds me of a really bad infomercial selling a book of generic "how to secrets" mathew lesko with the crazy voice & the riddler suit def. had more punch...

SOME TIME I GETTING 2 DAYS CONTINUOUSLY LIKE FROM SATURDAY NIGHT (FULL TIGHT) TO MONDAY MORNING

so... how many hours mr beard man?

I seem to need less sleep when I'm on a raw diet.

for that you will have to pay fees and attend his Inner Engineering ('IE') course. p.s: I have done his IE course and still don't know them.

He did not told 3 thing?

In the paid session.

Why is it that you asume sleeping is just body maintainance, Maybe is something much More important like for example better evolution. Think about it.

I like when he giggles and bounces.

Everything is in threes my yogi friend. And 8 hours is 1/3 of 24. Your entire argument rests on the assumption that sleep is "maintenance". It is much much more than that.

You don't NEED 10 hours of sleep, you just need to enter REM sleep a lot. You could just take 30 minute naps and get that 10 hours worth of sleep in 2 hours.

do inner engineering

10-12 hours of sleep a day? I'm getting too much sleep...

I'm really disappointed that he couldn't just tell us what they are. Presumably a lot of people could benefit from this. Not everybody can or will buy this program

Guess what... I sleep 12 hours and I'm fine :)

.........so says the man who looks like Rip Van Winkle.

i thought he was santa claus in a small thumb nail

at first i thought it was santa claus.

How can I start the Inner Engg Program. I am outside India. Is there any content I can buy and learn?

... so i still dont know how to stop my sleeping problem, he just used circular reasoning to sound intelligent but said nothing

so...how much hours do i actually need? he spent five minutes talking about machines and engineering

for a second i thought he was santa

Same, from the video I came from that showed this as a related/featured video, I thought it was an Arab Santa. "This ought to be funny," I thought. "A good chuckle," I thought. WELL NO.

I think he raised your interest to pay for the full program "package" and be enlightened... Or maybe there is no such "3 magic tips to sleep less and live better". I believe the amount of sleep is proportionally bonded to your genetic heritage, food, exercises and mental stress. As he mentioned, the more you get worn the more sleep you`ll need. Also, calm and controlled people tend to use of more hours of sleep...

Foods you should avoid and the foods you need to take, to keep you energized. They are called pranic foods, non pranic foods. Fruits and most vegitables are pranic. Non-Veg, garlic, onions are non pranic foods make you lethergic. Ash Gourd Juice, and honey is suggested in the morning. Avoid Coffee and such stimulants which keep you awake. Join inner engineering program from isha foundation, you learn Shambhavi Mahamudra, this needs to be thought by a Guru, so you should not do it by yourself.

This guy is blazed as hell lol!!! I like some of his advice though! 8 hours is correct though I don't care what anyone else thinks.

No no, he's not Al Queda. Allan Queda was my first boss. I hated Al, he was a big jerk. But he looked nothing like this guy, so I think you might be mistaken.

Anyone else find it ironic that he looks incredibly tired?

I'm scared this is like Scientology...

I respect him but I think he is wrong at sleep. Everyone is unique and everyone's sleep requirements are different.

Snore. Is this supposed to put me to sleep, or am I missing the point?

Santa? Are you there?

it is no engineering and not maintenance at all. We are humans and not machines that require maintenance to function properly. human sleep should be 8 hours average in order to function properly and efficiently otherwise you will be dull and grim. we all have different professions in our life in which the amount of rest varies for eg. a sportsperson requires more sleep than a accountant...hence we cant have same sleep period for everyone but 8hr sleep is an average for everyone.

On an average, a average man will certainly need around 6 to 7 hours of sleep in which he should at least have a deep sleep of 4 hours minimum. Guru sometimes get deviated, again Guru knows why. It is just my opinion.

Not for all. Only for unmarried like Jaggiji

lmfao!!!!!!!

what is 3 things???? wast time

whos this indian talking?

Probably some breath exercise, a few minutes of stretches and a mindful cup of green tea. Lawlz
