The phrase `altered states of consciousness' in this paper refers to higher states of consciousness developed through the Transcendental Meditation program. Subjects practicing Transcendental Meditation were found to require less sleep during the night than controls. In addition, the number of sleep stages was fewer and their duration shorter, except for stage 1, which was longer.
