When was the last time you stayed up all night?

The day before yesterday. I stay up all night often. When I am doing something that someone needs, something that will really help people (which is most of what I do, everyday), I get a real creative "wind" and I have lots of energy.

I am very low in my desire for sleep, although I do need it like everyone else. At a certain point of staying awake, my mind starts to be tired — less clear, less quick — and I pretty much have to turn in then. My body's tiredness is less persuasive to me; I can get second, third, fourth winds and keep going.

I aspire to reducing my need to sleep, and I'm "in training" for that. My training consists of gradually reducing my "normal" night of sleep; meditating daily and consciously relying on heavenly sources of energy; periodic exercise; healthy diet; maintaining complete lack of concern about when and how long I sleep; loving respect for my body (when it says it needs rest, I nap).
