Hello Friends,
"Man is the only mammal that willingly delays
sleep," screams the top line of the 25 random facts about sleep created
by the National Sleep Foundation. I presume the person who used the word
'willingly' does not own a smartphone or a tablet or a computer or a TV. Or a Facebook account.
Anyway, my job is to tell people how to sleep better. No
seriously it is. In the "I get paid to do that" manner. I myself don't sleep that well, but know things that can make
one sleep that well. And when I try those things, I do sleep that well.
But as they say, 'It is so simple to be happy, but it is so difficult to be simple.' The days I sleep with my phone 10 feet away from me, I get great
sleep. I don't wake up frequently at night, or at least I don't remember waking
up that frequently. I do feel pangs of separation for a few minutes when I go
to bed, and pure agony as it is, I do manage to convince myself that that's the
best for both of us. Too much familiarity, as we know, breeds contempt.
If you are tired of being awake, but can't sleep; or are
tired of sleep marathons, but still can't stay awake; or if you just want to
hear or tell real or fake, funny or sad, moving or soporific
stories about our or your sleep, join us. Let's wage a war together against the monstrous tyranny of
insomnia. And make fun of it while we're at it.
