Drop survival's end and I'm a temple for meditation
Repeat temple's last to electrical
Replace electricity's first to sleep well at a friend's

4$\begingroup$ @warspyking I don't want to be a grumpy Gus, but you ought to put forth more effort here. There's no theme, no rhyme, no intrigue... I'd hate to see an amusing type of word puzzle tarnished by an abundance of hastily written riddles. $\endgroup$– RolandCommented Aug 22, 2015 at 18:17

$\begingroup$ @Roland You seem to think I don't think about these things before I post. I purposely make sure they don't rhyme. $\endgroup$– warspykingCommented Aug 22, 2015 at 19:02

WATER.

WAT (see here).
Repeat temple's last to electrical
WATT is a unit of (e.g. electrical) power.
Replace electricity's first to sleep well at a friend's
BATT as in batting (wadding for a mattress) - thanks Somo145
warspy, you're making these too easy now! Also the watt is a unit of any sort of power, not just electrical.

$\begingroup$ I agree, it would be too easy, if that last answer really was "Matt". But no. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 22, 2015 at 17:45
