Sleep

.
We all need sleep. Research has shown that even for people in great physical shape, being sleep-deprived brings on any number of problems really quickly; to the point at which they barely function anymore... It has become clear that we need sleep in order to stay rested physically, and focused and alert mentally ~ in other words, to stay healthy.

This would indicate that when we are asleep, we are doing a lot more than just closing our eyes catching our ‘beauty sleep’...

For instance, through our dreams we are making sense of our daytime experiences. We can get a ‘heads up’ from our subconscious on the things that are pertinent to our personal paths. In other words, we use our sleeping hours to interact with our subconscious selves. And we seem to do this in such a manner that we unload our logical minds ~ so we will wake up the next morning clear-headed and alert to start the new day.

But there may also be those times when we have slept our regular number of hours, and without anything special or exciting going on in our lives we still wake up tired. Or not quite rested. Almost like we have been working through the night ~ even though we know we have been laying in our beds sleeping.
Chances are ~ especially when looked at from a spiritual perspective ~ that we indeed have been working through the night in those cases. Not the physical labor we put forth while awake, but a more subconscious, or even spiritual effort which stems from a deep desire to help.

At this point in time with a growing emphasis on ‘Oneness’, we can become increasingly aware of those places, situations or people who may need our support in whichever manner we can give it. An while we may not exactly be conscious of what is needed, or where on the planet this situation is occurring ~ while we are asleep, part of us may actually venture out to offer whatever help we can.

Personally, especially when I wake up tired a number of mornings in a row ~ no matter how much I desire to help wherever help may be needed ~ I feel like making an appointment with myself to just sleep through the night, plain and simple. To take care of my need for rest and recuperation first.

So, as it turns out, it is important for us to sleep.
For ourselves, and in some cases for places, situations, or people anywhere in the world as well.
