Twelfth: Reducing Sleep
Sleep is one of the two deaths. It is a waste of age and strengthens the present life, which is supposed to be a farm for the next life. It is sufficient, or more than the sufficient, to sleep two thirds of the night. It is the third of the age of a person, so it is enough to waste its third. Sleeping at the daytime is not allowed, except for those who stand in prayer all the night, because it is like the pre-fasting meal for the fasting person.
