Sleeping The Blues Away

Life can be utterly exhausting. It can be energy sapping, emotionally draining and headache inducing. It's sort of like mice who run on the plastic wheel in the cage with no end in sight. The wheel of life keeps spinning and sometimes, you lose your bearing and footing and find yourself spinning out of control, panting and dazed like you were inebriated. Mondays can especially be horrendously dreadful to wake up to. I know it's pure ordeal; I speak from experience, so take comfort you're not alone.

But over the weekend just past, I treated myself to a generous serving of sleep. It was a slightly later rousing on Saturday and a 3-hour nap (i know most wouldn't call anything longer than an hour a nap) on Sunday! It's awesome what sleep can do to your senses and sense of well-being! Do you, like me, look at sleep as a waste of time when you could be out doing something? We're just such a restless generation that keeping still and being tucked under the covers is the last thing many want to do. But try it for yourself to understand the value of sleep in 'a restless world like this is' (lyrics used without permission from 'A Whole New World').

Life doesn't have to be long drawn if you punctuate it with enough sleep. Check back soon as I let you in on some things you can introduce to your life that work as excellent kickstarters when life loses a bit of its colour.
