Is that all your sleep [three-and-a-half hours]? If so, it is far too little. If you do not sleep enough, the body and the nervous envelope will be weakened and the body and the nervous envelope are the basis of the sadhana. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/sleep#p8</ref>

~~I am glad the peace is coming back at last and I trust it will increase and push out these other things. But how is it,—you have not been taking proper rest?~~ Rest is absolutely necessary for the body and still more for the nervous system; not only for working but for sadhana rest to the body and the nerves is essential. If you allow them to be strained and tired, they will not be able to adapt themselves readily for the required change, all sorts of things, confusion, suggestions etc. are likely to come into a tired nervous system. They too must be strong and at peace. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/sleep#p9</ref>

It is the want of sleep itself that brings the symptoms of uneasiness. The action of the Sadhana cannot of itself bring this kind of reaction, it is only if the body gets strained by want of sleep, insufficient food, overwork or nervous excitement that there are these things. It is probably because the nerves are strung in the daytime and you do not relax into ease that it is difficult to sleep. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/sleep#p10</ref>
