Day 11 — When I’ve had a really bad day the first thing (not person) I reach for is…

 

 

 

THE BED ofcourse!!

Sleep according to me is one of the greatest of healers and comforters!  It provides relief from pain, fatigue, stress and sorrow.   An afternoon siesta on a weekend is one thing I really enjoy because I wake up recharged.  Sleep is a natural healer and sufficient sleep can provide great relief from headaches, migraines and light fever.

Sleep deprivation can be considered as the cause of many diseases.  I have experienced the effects of sleep deprivation before and I had to take sleeping pills to recover.

When one is asleep, one is closest to onself , as we drop all our wants and desires and allow ourselves to glide into peaceful slumber.

Here is a  link to a poem that I wrote about sleep: http://sajeevkmenon.wordpress.com/2011/03/04/sleep/

The whole world folds  up in me
As I close my eyes at night
No objects, no thoughts, no space
Sleep brings me close to myself

I lie down lifeless
Yet life flows through me
And then my subconscious
Takes over me

I go on a voyage
Creating objects, thoughts, space
Conjuring up a dream world
As I go on a ride of fantasy

The alarm bell rings
And I wake up
Objects, thoughts and space
The whole world unfolds again

Sleep

Lying in the mothers lap
After a fun day
Sleep like a lullaby
Soothes the little infant

Fatigued, tanned bodies
Lie on the pavement
Sleep gives solace to them
Magical,  sweet sleep

Sleep tender sleep
You ease the pain
Calm the nerves
And appease tired souls

Like a loving mother
Who dotes all her kids
You bring tranquil peace
To thief, saint, beggar and  king

Sleep take me on a dream
To a world without walls
Where there is only joy and peace
And one does not belittle another
