Can somebody clarify what is meant by this? The numbered quotations given for the sutta gives a kind of horary. The quotation numered as [3] span from 10 pm to 2 am: is this a time to sleep or to still be awaken? Number three is laying in the lions posture while maintaining mindfulness. One is still meditation. I cannot remember if sleep occurs here or not. From what I remember (though I may be wrong) there is a small amount of sleep here.

And then number [4] span from 2 am to dawn: Is this a time for meditation?
Yes this is the returning to walking and sitting meditation again
