Sleep State + Wakeful State = Your Life ……………………………. Original Equation In a day, there is 24 hours. Of these 24 hours, most people in average sleep around 8 hours. Therefore, Sleep state (8 Hours) + Wakeful State (16 hours) = 24 hours (Your allocated time for a day) Now, there are 365 days in a year. So, there is 365 * 24 = 8,760 hours in 1 year. In percentage, you sleep 33.33% of your total allocated time, which is 24 hours for a day. Therefore, in a year, your sleep time will be around ~ 33.33% * 8,760 = ~2,920 hours In average, a person lives around 85 years. This would be 85 * 8,760 = 744,600 hours (Entire lifetime) Now, 33.33 % of 744,600 hours would be sleep time. Therefore, Total Sleep-time hours for 85 years = ~ 248,200 hours. This would be around 28 years of total sleep time if you live 85 years. Now, putting all the values in the original equation above, we get: Sleep State (28 years) + Wakeful State (?) = Your Life (85 years) Now, Wakeful State = 85 – 28 = 57 years. Of these 57 years, deduct some years for childhood and old age as children & old people spent most of their time sleeping anyway. Therefore, actual useful wakeful hours are less than 57 years if you live 85 years. A + U + M = AUM = YOU! A = Wakeful State U = Dream State M = Dreamless Deep Sleep State T = Transcendental Awareness Therefore, it is important to investigate who you are, as you spent a major chunk of your time sleeping!

My investigation based on your article says - I am a sleep walking person. 😒

Very interesting that we spend 28 years in sleep .. Imagine at d last moment we have one important thing to do but dont have time and remember how we wasted 28 years sleeping .

Life is beautiful just the way it is that includes sleep and wake. Half your life is nighttime and the other half is day time. It's a simple fact.

Please do not forget to include hangout time in Sajha, internet and your mobile. "Americans spend an average screen time of 5.4 hours on their mobile phones daily. Currently, there are 294.15 million smartphone users in America. Social media is responsible for 2 hours and 24 minutes of global internet time spent online by an average user daily". Please add Internet time: "As of 2019 and 2020, the average daily social media usage of internet users worldwide amounted to 145 minutes per day, up from 142 minutes in the previous year". Sajha time: I am guessing at-least 20 to 60 minutes a day. It is more than we interact with our family. Soon it will outrun our sleep time & Insomnia will be a high hit medical problem.

Where does hypngogia fall then? Also in your equation I don’t see T being used.

@chicagoan..... For practical purpose I will put any state that is not fully awake to sleep state. The equation showing A, U, & M shouldn't be taken literally in algebraic sense. It should be read as you are AUM, and AUM is composed of wakeful, dream, and deep sleep state. "T" is not shown above because it is the hidden aspect of AUM. It is that silent portion of AUM which will be evident only when you go beyond perception. "T" is like the screen in a movie, hidden but very important. People watch movie on a screen, but they only talk about how good the movie is! They never give any credit to the screen! Similarly, "T" is the background where A, U, & M are happening!
