The Rebbe’s Sicha is in Likkutei Sichos volume 29, p. 211. He deals with the question why Tzaddikim of previous generations did sleep in the Suka in footnote 13 — explaining that their sleep was not a mere natural phenomenon but refelcted their extremely high spiritual level, which was comensurate with “Makifim D’Bina.” It is noteworthy that in an English letter by the Rebbe from the 1950’s or 1960’s, sent to a Rabbi who asked him about this, the Rebbe replied (the following is based on memory, as I don’t have the letter before me) that this custom is based… Read more »
When the question arrives from a non Chassidisher or a non Lubavicher, that it is the Halocho to sleep in the Succah.
it is important to determend the source and the intentions where it is coming from, before reflecting the complete answer, the best consumer is an educated consumer.

The rebbe said (by dollars and in likkutei sichos volume 29) that the rebbeim did not sleep in the sukka, since they felt the kedusha of the succah and could not fall asleep, and “some” chassidim follow the rebbeim’s custom. The rebbe asked how could it be that the rabbeim were lenient in this mitzva, and how are the chassidim who do not feel the succas kedusha exempt from this mitzva?

so how did they sleep there in the previous generations
The Rebbe said clearly that the Previous Rebbe did not sleep in the Succah and that chassidim do nor sleep in he Succah
1-Where can i find the sicha that the rebbe talks about this? what chelek?
2-so why do we eat in the suka even if its cold? isnt that considered tzaar?
#3) regarding sleeping in the sukah i do not know about previous generation sleeping or not sleeping in the sukah though i do know that the rebbe spoke about chabad chasidim not sleeping in the sukah and i am sure there are those that can help you with different resources ,,, i know about such from times the rebbe gave out dollars …
Actaully, if you take a look in customs for sukkos in Seder haminhagim you wont find that “chassidim don’t sleep in sukkah”, and the rebee himself authored that part of seferhaminhagim. (You’ll find that we Dont decorate)
in the sicha (Luk”s volume 29) it states “some chassidim Dont sleep in the Sukka”, I actually know of prominent chassidim.in the previous generation who did Sleep in Sulla.
Thank you Rabbi Butman for putting together such a comprehensive shiur to prepare us for Succos! May we truly merit geulah now!!!
