According to Osho, ordinary sleep can’t conquer death; meditation uses sleep’s initial conditions—utterly relaxed body, deep quiet breath, still mind—while keeping the inner lamp of awareness burning. Remaining awake within sleep makes the divine (the deathless) available; this wakefulness-in-sleep transforms rest into realization rather than unconsciousness.
You can’t beat death by just sleeping; relax like sleep but keep a small inner light of awareness on.
