A note I posted on FB today. My friends liked it, I think I'd like to share it with you guys. =) This was targeted to some friends that had like 4 exams tomorrow; I knew they would be up. Enjoy :D ------------------------------------------------- Sleeping Is a Gift Hello friends, I just took a nap! Well, I woke up about 1.5 hours ago, but it still feels as if I am half asleep. I woke up in dim light several moments while napping for... about 3 hours. I guess I decided to close my blinds an alternate way than how I usually do it. The blinds curved in, instead of outward, only allowing light to seep from the ends of the left and right sides. Anyway, there's a difference. Just like how daydreams are different than dreams (sleep kinda dreams). I feel that sleeping is a gift. That sounded kinda dumb (LOL), but oh, it is so true. We have many gifts that fly over our heads, because it has been a part of our lives since we could: breathe, think, munch, poop. With all the weight and strength of life on our eyelids, we are graced with the ability to sleep: absolute relief; ultimate relaxant, the human body's humble home, where it is to dine and rejuvenate. Though sleep is such a marvelous bounty, there is indeed fine print. The gift is a must-have. We would literally die of dry eyeballs, sick bodies. Like the gift of a heartbeat and lungs; they must not stop. We have so many gifts, that it definitely is, in reality, too hard to regulate it all with just the mind. Stress and bad-mindsets come without welcome, and we lose track of these gifts, we are punished. Even the mind; the secretary of the body, flow of your decisions and thoughts, will lose it's track as well. Just a quick note, take care of yourselves. Get some sleep, too! It's one of my favorites.

Yes, I love sleeping. Even more when I'm insanely tired, and I just lie on my bed and enjoy sleeping...it's an amazing gift.

Yes it's a gift since there are many organisms that can't sleep. Basically anything we can do is a gift.

Err gift? Nono, power ranger action figures on christmas are gifts. sleeping is a biological process that rests the brain and rejuvenates the body for the next day's activities. A lot of animals sleep and some even sleep for the WHOLE winter! How weird is that?

My sleep is broken up into 3-4 hours at night. and 2-5 hours after school. Being nocturnal has it's ups and downs. I do wish I could get more sleep at one time. Instead of 2 shifts...... But I do think sleep is a gift. The faster I do my homework, the more sleep I'm rewarded with. Too bad I'm a terrible procrastinator.....
