Strive for More Than Enough Sleep

10/10/2013

Sleeping
As "time speeds up" we will continue to feel rushed and "behind." Remember, it is just an illusion.  
 
In our efforts to keep up and get "enough" done in a 24-hour period, many of us have been tempted to carve out extra hours by reducing the amount of time we spend sleeping. As a result, we feel tired, more stressed and can even start to feel depressed.
 
I have often described our growth into higher beings similar to that of a newborn. Our human-spiritual selves are shifting and expanding so quickly, we are utilizing a significant amount of energy. Just as babies spend much of their time sleeping because of their rapid growth, we will often find ourselves barely functional from exhaustion.

Whether you add extra hours to either end of your nighttime slumber, or take a catnap (or two) during the day, make it a priority to get enough sleep. And, this doesn't mean "just enough" to get by; it means getting more than enough!

Years ago, I remember Deepak Chopra stating that it was optimal to go to sleep by 10:00 pm and sleep until at least 6:00 am. Though not always successful, this is my striving (I prefer 7:00 am, if possible!). I found additional sleep tips on The Chopra Center website: How to Get Restful Sleep

I love sleep, too, but sometimes I push the night too late... and BOY do I notice the impact. Speaking of which... it's bedtime now! ;-)
