I had started but had to leave it due to some other things that took priority. I could be wrong in setting my priorities though ! Besides it needs a disciplined approach and some determination to stick to a routine at least till one attains some degree of success in it when it starts getting natural and effortless. I keep planning to get back to it after finishing my task at hand but the list never seems to end ! The moment one gets over something else comes to take its place.  But i know several ppl who are doing it regularly and they keep reminding me to set my priorities right and get back . I do intend to get back , but dont know when

I could never meditate for the life of me. At least not in the sense of what they say meditation ought to be. When I was in SSC our school organized Yoga camp to help us improve concentration and all that. They taught us meditation. They told us to clear our mind of all thoughts, make it  a blank slate and focus on breathing. When they say an empty mind is a devil's workshop – they said right. For whenever I cleared my mind of all normal mundane everyday thoughts – that empty mind got filled in with all sorts of inappropriate thoughts. Later on I was told that Zen monks meditate by picturing themselves strolling through a tranquil serene Zen garden. That works for me. Since I have thoughts of pretty water gardens and rolling lawns, I can meditate walking through those. I like imagining traveling through pretty places in the world – but clear every thing its a trip down fantasy land I don't think they want to teach you about in meditation school.

Oh I have already mastered the art of sleep. I can sleep whenever, wherever no matter whatever. I could sleep standing in a crowded local train or bus, I could sleep through a nuclear holocaust.

I sleep in skr's income tax class, where he talks slowly about how some client of his went out of the country for 183 days to avoid paying ta on his foreign income, and how some family bought reliance shares worth 1500 bucks and now have crores of rupees. And how some man used to sell at a 2 rupee loss to boost sales and then had huge debt and hung himself from the ceiling. I didn't sleep during these stories though, the rest were BO-ring.

In case you have gone through the clips (which I doubt) , you would have noticed it says that during sleep there is unconscious astral travel 😆 Sleep is rejuvenating ,but not better , as meditation is said to be much more effective !
