What impact does meditation have on sleep?

Question

Hi,

Ever since my hubby started meditating, he is sleeping more soundly. But he is also sleeping for 2 hours extra. Could this be because of meditation? If so, how to cut down on sleep? He has a job and he cannot afford an extra 2 hrs of sleep every day.

Answer 3

Hello Sylvia

This is a sign that he is benefiting from the Meditation.

As is de stresses, it allows for deeper sleep, you may find that the extra 2 hours are due to healing & catching up. If this is the case as I suspect then it will pass.

If it is not causing problems with work then do not worry, relax. If it is then he needs to look at setting his alarm!
