Swiss Retreat 2019 Group Interviews 6 (23:33-25:15)
Yogi: I often get sleepy while sitting. I don’t want it to become a habit and try not to be sleepy, but it is difficult to accept sleepiness and not be averse because I don’t want to fall asleep.
I do ask questions to ignite interest, but it is difficult.
Sayadaw: Just try and if you cannot, get up. Don’t stay sitting and sleepy.
Yogi: I still feel sleepy when I stand.
Sayadaw: Walk; and if you feel sleepy when you’re walking, go and sleep. And, sometimes you’ll be sleepy when you sit, stand and walk and when you finally go and sleep, you wake up.
If the mind is tired, you just need to let it rest.
