How to sleep sitting up

Near the bottom of post (after teaching how to learn how to sleep sitting up, He says this:

When I sleep upright I have a very light, but amazingly refreshing sleep. I remember my dreams better, I wake up more easily if something is going on around me, and yet I don’t feel groggy or disrupted.

I can jump right up without that usual feeling of disorientation that comes after sleep, which has led to not hitting the coffee so hard.

Even though it’s a lighter sleep somehow it’s very satisfying.

Learn why Tibetan Monks sleep sitting up!

Tibetan Monks are a select group of people that dedicate their entire lives to spirituality, and living a life made up of certain rituals in a monastery.

Their lifestyle may seem strange to foreigners, but Tibetan Monks don't let other people's opinions change their cultures, even when it comes to sleeping.

As it turns out, Tibetan Monks sleep sitting up. It sounds like torture, but according to many people that have tried it - it's fantastic.

People who have tried sleeping upright like a monk (who by the way have special boxes for sleeping), have found that they never have a sore back or neck, it's impossible to snore, and they have more energy when they are awake!

The reason that monks sleep upright is actually a method of training their body to have better posture while meditating!

Their box-beds are positioned so that they face their personal shrines!
