Behind the guilt was compassion

I meditated for an hour straight yesterday and it cut my need for sleep by around two hours. This has been a common experience for me, if you meditate well enough and long enough you'll wake up at 7am instead of 9am despite going to bed at around the same time. I also find that very often during meditation I get very hot, my body temperature increases for some reason. And then there are the obvious benefits like increased energy, stable mood, decreased stress, etc. I had too much shit on my mind today to get a good session in but I'm sure I'll get a good one in this evening or at least tomorrow.
So the meditation I did was based on this: https://www.sirimangalo.org/text/how-to-meditate/chapter-one-what-is-meditation/
Share which benefits you get from meditating and perhaps also go into detail in regards to your own practice, especially if you've also experienced this reduced need for sleep.
