What happens when the mind is habituated and troubled by the idea of sleep?

Sleep is not a problem but a natural restoration; when you drop the borrowed conditioning, both sleep and wakefulness regain their innocence and balance.

— Osho
According to Osho, if your mind is disturbed by thoughts about sleep, it’s not an intrinsic mental problem but borrowed conditioning. Scriptures and doctrines label sleep as ‘tamasic,’ planting guilt and resistance. Drop the secondhand ideas: sleep is a natural, even spiritual, restoration. When conditioning dissolves, conflict ends and sleep—and wakefulness—regain innocence and balance.

You worry about sleep only because you were taught it’s bad; let go of that idea and sleep becomes natural and good.
