  1. Autonomic Nervous System The autonomic nervous system is divided into two parts sympathetic nervous system parasympathetic nervous system. The two parts generally function in opposite ways. For example: In general, when the sympathetic nervous system (hereafter, I call it the “SNS”) is stronger than the parasympathetic nervous system (hereafter, the “PNS”), people are prone to be tense, to have a weaker appetite, to suffer from insomnia, and so forth. On the other hand, when the PNS is stronger than the SNS, people are prone to feel dull, to have a strong appetite, to sleep heavily, to have rather high blood pressure, and so forth. Therefore the state of having a stronger SNS is not preferable, and neither is a state of having a stronger PNS. Source: http://www.dogensangha.org/downloads/Pdf/ANS&Buddhism.PDF
