The night-meal should be taken after the lapse of one fourth part of the night. It is desirable to walk one hundred spaces, after this meal. This causes a relaxation of the limbs and a sensation of ease in the shoulder, the thighs, and the waiste. Then is the time to lie down on bed for sleep, in a calm and undisturbed state of the mind. It is desirable to inhale eight times, while lying down flat and to inhale sixteen times while reclining on the right side, and then to recline on the left side with a view to sleep. Sitting down, lying down, and pacing slowly up and down, immediatly after taking a full meal (either at day or at night) is followed, respectively, by a gradual enlargement of the belly, all-round development of the body, and increase of longevity. Running, immediately after taking a full meal, means to allow Death to run after such a runner.

The digesting heat in the stomach is situated on the left side of the belly, a little higher up the navel. It is, therefore, always desirable to lie down on the left side after taking the meal. One should also rub the palm of the feet with oil at the time one retires to bed for sleep; such an action induces sleep and improves eye-sight. One should never sleep with one鈥檚 hair smeared with oil. Sleeping with the hair wet with water is, however, not objectionable. To sleep with one鈥檚 head kept northwards causes several diseases and loss of vitality. To sleep with one鈥檚 head kept westwards is also forbidden, in as much as it brings about insomnia and excess of vayu. Sleeping is forbidden in a tattered bed, in a house with more than one holes, in temples, and under trees and in garden houses, at night; poisonous gas issues out of leaves of trees at night. Forty eight minutes preceding sunrise is the time in which every man should get up from sleep.
