Tibetan Monks are a select group of people that dedicate their entire lives to spirituality, and living a life made up of certain rituals in a monastery.
Their lifestyle may seem strange to foreigners, but Tibetan Monks don't let other people's opinions change their cultures, even when it comes to sleeping.
As it turns out, Tibetan Monks sleep sitting up. It sounds like torture, but according to many people that have tried it - it's fantastic.
People who have tried sleeping upright like a monk (who by the way have special boxes for sleeping), have found that they never have a sore back or neck, it's impossible to snore, and they have more energy when they are awake!
The reason that monks sleep upright is actually a method of training their body to have better posture while meditating! Their box-beds are positioned so that they face their personal shrines!
