Mr Sandman
What kind of sleeper are you? Do you drop off like a stone and awaken refreshed, or do you need pitch black and silence to drift off to dream?
I have experienced how insufficient sleep can wreak havoc with your day. Sleep is vital for me to refresh, rejuvenate and enjoy my day. I try to make it a point to have atleast a 1 hour afternoon nap on weekends and a good nights sleep every day.
I do not need much time to knock off. When I go to bed, I usually take a book to read. After some time I just forget everything else, say my prayers and then I am fast asleep.
Here is a poem on Sleep that I had posted earlier:
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
