Question: Often I wake up during the night. Why is this?

Sri Chinmoy: It means that the vital being in you is restless. It jumps like a monkey from one place to another inside you, and in each place it visits, it breaks something and creates some calamity. This inner calamity manifests itself as an interruption in your sleep.

From:Sri Chinmoy,Sleep: death's little sister, Agni Press, 1974
