You cannot call every wakeful state agrypnia, for the need of sleep becomes less and less due to both age as well as dhikr-u cibadat, to the extent that a pious mu'min, who is in constant remembrance of God, needs very little sleep. You can see the mention of such mu'mins who sleep very little in the Qur’an (32:16; 51:17; 73:20). The purpose of sleep can be fulfilled in a very short time. This is because man who is the son of Adam is given honour and excellence over all other creatures by God (17:70). Thus, the more a mu'min advances in the stages of spirituality, the more wonders and marvels of human capabilities are revealed to him, as well as many secrets related to sleep.
