This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
“Mendicants, suppose a mendicant has a sensual, malicious, or cruel thought while walking. They tolerate it and don’t give it up, dispel it, eliminate it, and obliterate it. Such a mendicant is said to be ‘not keen or prudent, always lazy, and lacking energy’ when walking.
or when lying down while awake. They tolerate it and don’t give it up, dispel it, eliminate it, and obliterate it. Such a mendicant is said to be ‘not keen or prudent, always lazy, and lacking energy’ when lying down while awake.

or when lying down while awake. They don’t tolerate it, but give it up, dispel it, eliminate it, and obliterate it. Such a mendicant is said to be ‘keen and prudent, always energetic and resolute’ when lying down while awake.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:
is practicing the wrong way, lost among things that delude; such a mendicant is incapable of experiencing the highest awakening.
Kummaggaṁ paṭipanno so, mohaneyyesu mucchito; Abhabbo tādiso bhikkhu, phuṭṭhuṁ sambodhimuttamaṁ.
But one who, whether standing or walking, sitting or lying down, has calmed their thoughts, loving peace of mind; such a mendicant is capable of experiencing the highest awakening.”
Yo ca caraṁ vā tiṭṭhaṁ vā, Nisinno uda vā sayaṁ; Vitakkaṁ samayitvāna, Vitakkūpasame rato; Bhabbo so tādiso bhikkhu, Phuṭṭhuṁ sambodhimuttaman”ti.
This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti. Ekādasamaṁ.
