Day One
Hundred and Eighty-Six: I fudged the
numbers again
Jess’s
Advice Series #6: Sleep
Of all the
things in life that we all share, that feeling of pride at a good mark, greed
when we want something desperately, everyone shares the love of sleep. Even the insane people who can run and thrive
on little hours of sleep will say that they do appreciate the dormant down
time. When it comes to me I love it, and
when it escapes me I crave it. Sleep is
the world’s elusive love.
So I must
suggest to everyone to get enough of it.
People become cranky and angry when they don’t get enough, and so just
do it. Go to bed earlier, stop reading
stop watching tv and just close your eyes.
Your body, mind, emotions, energy levels, and the people around will
thank you for it.
If there’s
one thing I learned from travelling and backpacking was that being an insomniac
and staying in lumpy unregulated temperature beds for extended periods of time
(or short ones) sleep becomes the one thing you crave most. Not comfortable shoes, not normal food, not
your family or maple syrup, but sleep.
Sleep allows me personally to enjoy things and embrace adventuring with
a lot more enthusiasm.
