Sleep

Sleep is one of the most important necessities of life. We spend nearly one third of our life sleeping. It has been said, “Blessing on him who first invented sleep. It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak. It is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold and cold for the hot”. The importance of sleep should not be underestimated. It is a “tired nature’s sweet restorer” or the most important gift of God.
WHY DO WE NEED SLEEP
There are countless cells in our body which require rest for relaxation and vitality. If not given enough rest, these cells, will tire themselves out and become less functional and erratic. Proper and sound sleep is essential for rejuvenation of heart muscles that get fatigued during the day. The better the quality of sleep, the more rest these cells and tissues get and perform better by making our body carry out the daily routine effectively.
In essence, sleep is a tonic for our physical and mental health. It removes exertion, and imparts our body and mind with freshness, energy and strength. It reinvigorates strained muscles and nerves.
