Shouldn't ""sayanto/sayaano" be understood as "lying
down" rather than "sleeping"? Lying down is a position
of the body, same as standing, sitting and moving;
sleeping is a state of consciousness, so it doesn't
really fit into the scheme (and it is debatable
whether true sleep and true bhaavanaa can take place
at the same time).
