so i'm listening to a podcast with an obviously brilliant and quite knowledgeable meditation teacher, but he just said that no matter how wonderful the day's experiences will be, it's dreadful to be roused from sleep because unconsciousness is great, and... no ?? ???? what?

It's quite restful, no? Opposite of stressful, no? I can see where he's coming from.

So maybe I’m reading literally but ‘to be roused’ is why I voted yes, always. Waking up isn’t bad when you naturally flow out of sleep but being woken up by a noise, whether an alarm or a kid or whatever, sucks for me.
