Sleep
Thus another symptom of one embedded in the mode of ignorance
is that he sleeps more than is required. Six hours of sleep is suf-
ficient, but a man in the mode of ignorance sleeps at least ten or
twelve hours a day. Such a man appears to be always dejected and
is addicted to intoxicants and sleeping. These are the symptoms of
a person conditioned by the mode of ignorance. - BG 14:8, purport -
