abhāva-pratyayālambanā vrttir nidrā

Sleep is the activity of the mind that is based on the idea of non-being.

Sleep, nidrā, is the fourth category of the five mental activities named in sūtra 1.6. In deep, dreamless sleep, it might appear we finally stop thinking, but that is not so. Mental activity continues. Sleep may be a state in which we have the sense of an experience of non-being, but it is not non-being.
