say again, anyone fairly adept at yogic meditation would not have much problem
with sensory or sleep deprevation torture techniques. Of course, beatings,
electric shock, burning, etc are a different story.

Looking at a page of "yogic meditation" advice it talks of sitting comfortably and using breath control techniques.

You are hardly in an environment conductive to "yogic meditation" in an uncomfortable stance and with loud noise played into your ears.
