Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-6 Dhyāna Yogaḥ

nāty-aśnatas-tu yogo’sti na caikāntam-anaśnataḥ | na cāti svapnaśīlasya jāgrato naiva cārjuna || 16 || 16. Yoga is not for one who over-eats, nor for one who fasts excessively; nor for one who sleeps too much, nor for one who stays awake for lengthy periods, O Arjuna. Commentary Over-eating and excessive fasting are opposed to Yoga practice, as are excessive recreation and non-recreation, too much sleep and too little sleep. So too, are overwork and idleness.
