It's in the tradition of Shankaracharyas, the Holy trad. We've talked about it here before. Can you remind us what the technique is, or is it private?  It's basically learning to integrate the witness of sleep, the witness of dreaming and the witness of deep sleep as one through understanding where those events occur in the pranic body. Once that integration is complete you can control sleep. In other words, you can decide "I will go to sleep for two hours" and then do that, by your will. Waking is associated with head centers, dreaming the throat and deep sleep the heart center.  The extent to which you can get the prana to enter in the innermost subtle channel is the extent to which you will be successful. In some traditions this is facilitated by actually sleeping in your meditation posture. This is not instruction for practice, but just a general description.
