Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram搁腻迟谤颈 (啶班ぞ啶む啶班た) or 狈颈艣腻 refers to the 鈥渘ight鈥�, according to the Tant谤腻loka verse 8.422.鈥擳he day is the domain of daily life. It is the auspicious domain of creation and stability and of the sacred forces and beings who sustain it. Conversely, night is the domain of destructive forces and the deluding darkness of slumber. M膩y膩 is the Night (苍颈艣腻, 谤腻迟谤颈), the dark night of ignorance. However, M膩y膩 is also the goddess who is made of the night (苍颈艣腻may膩). M膩y膩, the Night, has two faces. The night of ignorance for the worldly, fettered soul is the day of awakening for the wise. 艢iva, inactive like a corpse, is immersed in contemplation (蝉补尘腻诲丑颈) 鈥榓t night鈥� when he is free of M膩y膩. His is the Practice of Stillness (苍颈谤腻肠腻谤补)鈥攖he realisation of the extinction鈥�苍颈谤惫腻峁嘺鈥攐f all limitations and afflictions through the rise of Ku峁囜笉alin墨 brought about by his Practice at Night (苍颈艣腻c膩ra).

Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣膩kta) or Shaktism (艣膩ktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.

For the king鈥檚 well-being at night and for his digestion when he eats, etc., this worship should continue [throughout the night] by the order of the God of Gods. Then [the king] should sleep the entire night (谤腻迟谤颈鈥�tato 谤腻迟谤颈峁� samag谤腻峁�). He should remain at ease, free of the dangers of Yak峁s, Rak峁s, Pis膩cas, fear of disrupted sleep鈥攚hich bring about M膩t峁泂鈥攁nd trembling from those afflictions鈥�.

Yoga (school of philosophy)

Night and day, the Yogin always sleeps in the natural [no-mind] state. For a man who remains in the pure, natural [no-mind state], there is not even the distinction of day and night, because [that] place is the bliss of mere consciousness, which is free from wakefulness and sleep. [...]鈥�.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as 膩sanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).

[...] From the night (谤腻迟谤颈) when the Gath膩gata attained awakening (bodhi) to the night of his extinction (pari苍颈谤惫腻峁嘺), the treasury of the dharma jewel has been explained, is being explained, and will be explained by the Tath膩gata. All of them are what they really are (迟补迟丑补迟腻), not different from what they are (avi迟补迟丑补迟腻), and nothing else but what they are (补苍补苍测补迟丑腻). [...]鈥�.
