In my series on 'roles of lakshmaNa' I think this point was not dealt, as I did not think it is part of his roles. A 'sleep-less person' is not a role and hence I did not include. But I included the role of security guard and dealt that, in particular that assignment given to him by raama of guarding seethaa just when raama left behind the maareecha maan.
Now I request learned scholars in the list to give reference from vaalmeeki where these two points are dealt.
Or it can be from our poorva aachaaryas quotes and elaborations – like swamy periya vachan pillai's thani sloki and other commentaries.
Why this topic suddenly is - I was asked this question recently and I could not answer immediately. Instead of single handedly searching the 24000 slokams and their commentaries, I thought collective wisdom is a more easy approach.
Await your comments and references
