The value of sleep

This is one person's story of the value of sleep. Or, rather, how miserable it is to be without an adequate amount. I've discovered that my creative side seems to come alive at night, which would be a great thing if not for the fact that I get up insanely early in the morning. I'm the type of person who has to be well rested. When I'm not, my mood ranges from gentle kitten to fierce tiger in a matter of, oh, ten seconds. Depending on the situation, of course. I love to write, and I try to be sensible, but sometimes that just won't happen.

My favorite thing about sleep is that I feel no pressures. It's like the world melts away and I enter the blissful universe of Dreamland. When my dreams become crazy, I tend to intercede and make them go the way I want to, meaning that they end up with me getting what I want or being very happy. It's like a movie sometimes. Sometimes I remember my dreams, good and bad. I dream in vivid color, and I have deja vu at times in my real life. I guess that's because I'm a daydreamer and a quiet person. I enjoy simplicity, and I appreciate the blissful escape that sleep allows me. Not to mention that I feel much happier and healthier the next day.

Napping is also a good thing. I don't care what anyone says, not much beats a nap in the course of a day, especially if you get to pull off a two hour leisure one. Ahh, yeah! Only a lifelong supply of fine chocolate, great music, great family and friends, and plenty of free time to pursue my own interests would top that. Since those things probably aren't going to happen (other than the friends and family), I'll take my pleasure where I can get it. I absolutely love napping. It's so wonderful. Then, when night time arrives, and it's time to sink into a nice warm bed, I get to have double the happiness. It's the simple things that make me happy, what can i say?

So I encourage you all to sleep, and try to sleep well. It's good for your health, your mind, your spirit, and for goodness sakes, it's great for the relationships in your lives. Never underestimate the value of great sleep, whether it's only a short nap or a full, long night's rest. Enjoy each sleeping moment as much as you enjoy each waking moment. It's not lazy, it's almost a decadent thing these days, almost a rarity for all of us. Savor it!

Love and sleepy, happy thoughts,

Update for October

I've been through a traumatic experience as of late, leaving me pretty unmotivated to write much. I'm starting to get my groove back, so yeah. I will keep you all informed of various things. I have a different blog, one which will be dealing with more serious topics I wish to discuss. This one will remain as intended, but you may find more lighter hearted posts here than previously. It's nice to have a balance, I think.

For now, Blessings and Peace,

Me
