The best pain reliever and relaxation

Tweet

Sound sleep is undoubtedly one of the greatest pleasures in the world that is available absolutely free. Roughly one third of our life is spent sleeping and that is the time we actually forget all our worries, get complete relaxation and possibly enjoy the most blissful hours. When we are disturbed and stressed, what we really should do is free our minds of the worries plaguing us. A good sleep not only relaxes us but refreshes and rejuvenates us thereby preparing us to continue our quest with renewed vigor and passion. The beauty of sleep is in the realty that we can indulge in it at anytime, it helps us recharge ourselves and it is an antidote for any and all worry. So it erases each and every pain, be it physical or mental. Actually we experience the beauty of sleep, when one is really tired and exhausted. But this is near impossible because when we are awake our mind is constantly juggling various thoughts and ideas most of it centering on the problem we are trying to forget. When we are tense, anxious and confused sleep eludes us and occasionally when we do drift off to sleep, we have a disturbed sleep which really does not give us the rest and comfort we normally enjoy in a good sleep. If we manage to get a sound sleep despite our anxieties, occasionally with the aid of a sleeping pill, it still helps us gather our wits and calm our nerves. Relief from pain is best experienced when asleep and that accounts for the prescription of sleeping pills for those in pain and for those who are sleep deprived or who are prone to panic attacks and depression. Some could be bodily ills manifesting itself in pain and discomfort that prevents one from having a good sleep. Sleeplessness could often be a very significant indicator of worry. [b]The ‘quality of sleep ‘one gets matters much more than the ‘quantity of sleep’. It is ideally suggested that each one of us must enjoy 8 hours of sound sleep.[/b] [i][b]Catnaps is a technique of enjoying sound sleep for a limited time (normally during the afternoon after lunch) which is the equivalent of putting a mobile to charge up for then we too can be fully recharged after a catnap. However, the compulsions of modern work ethics do not really permit many to have this luxury.[/b][/i] I always go to bed at about 10.30pm and get up at 5.30am , irrespective of weather ; there is some deviation if I am very sick. I feel recharged. How many hours you sleep? Do you feel fresh? Please share your views and comment on this. Thanks in advance. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .
