Do you know why do we need sleep? Sleep occurs because of two reasons. When we eat the body tends to work harder for digestion. This causes sluggishness and sleep occurs. Second reason is more subtle. Our subconscious registers many events when we see them through eyes. The subconscious needs cleaning and this cleaning occurs during sleep hours. All the events pass through our eyes and our brain casts a story or sequence. This sequence is dream.
But sleep in actual sense is death. Our conscious mind is dead at those moments and this is a difficult stage to achieve in normal world. Our conscious mind is captivated by Maya and we do not rest. God has given us a gift through our biological cycle. Our conscious minds gets a rest when we sleep and subconscious is cleaned. But there are yogis who never sleep. They do not register anything in subconscious and their conscious part is dead because of meditation. They are already in such a restful stage that they do not need further humanly rest. So was the case with “Gudakesh” or “Arjuna”. He conquered “Nidra” or sleep and hence was named “Gudakesh”.
