Why?

Human beings sleep, why would the Buddha not?

I had done 10 day vipassana course earlier in an ashram.
we empty our body of sensations by awareness meditation for nine days.
We fill our body on 10th day by goodwill and love. The reason is that once we leave the Ashram, Mara will harm us if we are empty.
We common people loose our awareness in sleep.

Guatam Buddha after enlightment was completely empty. And it will be very dangerous for him, if he sleeps and loses awareness as mara will destroy his enlightment.

So from my point of view perfect enlightment on this earth with live surroundings of mara is either not possible or the person concerned should always be in awareness. Conclusion is that Guatam Buddha never slept after enlightment.

I wish to get clarified on this point.
