Sleeping is no mean art: for its sake one must stay awake all day.
- Friedrich Nietzscheu
And I think, how so true these words are. Sleep is perhaps the most beautiful thing on earth and its rather a shame that a normal human spends 1/3rd of their lives sleeping. I wish everyone could sleep at least half their lives. Think of the advantages it would have produced?
People could sleep more(Ah, profound observation here.)
Population control. Yes, yes, come to think of it people sleeping more could produce lesser. Err, only it doesn?t back fire that is;-)
Normal workday hours would be a 6 hour a day work? bliss!
World would be a safer place since half the times either part of the world would be busy sleeping instead of bothering about other half of world?s problems.
Kekta would have a hard time finding spots to air her horror shows - I think this is the best reason!
But then, life is not this simple. Sleep is something simply sacred, something simply divine, simply irreplaceable, (of course lord of dungeons and grim reapers will severely debate this;-)? they have better permanent methods they did argue, but sigh?), simply irresistible, and plain simply enjoyable. The most profound things in this world are simple, and if you look above, there are so many simple joys of sleeping. And best part of all? falling asleep is really simple too? just close your eyes. Ah, so much simplicity in life eh? How can one not like sleeping!
A few simple reasons why one must sleep?
You always dreamed of double date with J.Lo on one side and Tina Turner on the other side(all right, not *Tina, mayhaps Queen Latifah?? no eh? **Britney then?). Anyway point is, a mere mortal may achieve all that(s)he ever wanted to achieve in life.
The day began badly; your boss fired you again for coming late, for not working hard, for not being motivated, for not being interested enough in job; Remedy?? SLEEP. You always wanted to kick his bu*tt hard? at least take the satisfaction that you could at least kick him while sleeping!
Sleep usually induces other activities which then help reduce stress, tension, relief, oppressed feelings, and most of all release for a few moments of this ungodly world.
Sleep makes you appreciate life;-)(Hail Grim Reaper here!)
Anyways, so much for the sleep inducing introduction to this sleeposgasmic review. Life is too short to stay awake, hence my friends, one must cultivate healthy sleeping habits. These habits will not help people sleep more, but also err? will help people err. sleep more. yawnnnn.
So how must one cultivate healthy sleeping habits?
Don?t sleep for 16 hours of your day. You will automatically feel sleepy enough. So Intelligent eh? The point is, for me a healthy sleep is night sleep? other sleeps are pleasure sleeps err. I mean, siesta sleeps.
Eat like a bakasura? u is bound to develop very healthy sleeping habits indeed then;-).
Ignore the point above? I meant the opposite. If you sleep on an empty stomach, you will wake up empty;-)(Stop. Applause. Continue). Seriously, one must not sleep on empty stomach. Not only you will feel much emptier next day, I kind of feel rather weak! I simply don?t believe in the King-Prince-Pauper food theory, and I think I always sleep well when I have had a sumptuous helping of chicken tikka masala coupled with 3 tandoori rotis topping it off with a serving of pulao and raita and of course Kheer as desert. Gluttony is an art, and if practiced well can really help you sleep well. Point is, eat healthy to have good sleeps.
Exercise!? Kehne main kya jaatha hain. I do regular exercise by holding peanuts in my hands, and trying out different ways I can toss them up and land them in my mouth. Anyways, I have heard that by exercising you can sleep well. I am always too sleepy to exercise anyways, so I don?t know the efficiency of the results. Reminds me, I need to exercise my mouth before the next sentence. There are also other exercises, though I am very reluctant to suggest them in public spaces, though are a sure fire way of falling to sleep? no, it doesn?t fail;-).
In addition sleeping healthy has health reasons?
You grow hairy like a bear. Sleeping is believed to reduce hair loss, temporary hair loss, alleviate baldness(sorry wrong word), lessen baldness, and give kali-reshmi-zulfi to those who desire. It doesn?t mean that all ladies should sleep more;-).
Then, I guess I have also heard that if you don?t sleep well, your neural system may start malfunctioning. Next time that dog runs behind you when you jog at 5 in the morning, you know what went wrong with the dog. Allow your dogs to sleep well, please. Sorry, lost my way. On second thoughts, how many agree that dogs actually act to kill our sleep?
Sleeping is fun.
Well, I think I have nearly come to the end of this review. I have been feeling sleepy ever since I started this review. Its nearly 3 weeks I have started this review, and yawn; this has been one boring review!
Oh, by the way, research hasn?t still found a reason why we sleep. Lets sleep to this!
