Pramada

Pramada means inattentiveness or negligence. It can either take the form of thoughts and which carry us away, or it can take a form of sleep. If we continue attending to ourselves but then lose our hold on the self-attentiveness without getting carried away by thoughts, we fall into sleep. We need not worry about sleep because we can't sleep forever. The only way to avoid both of these forms of pramada is to cling to self-attention more and more.
