Of nightmares and sleep

Sleep is to everyone... a precious commodity. At times we get enough or too much and in some critical times... too little or none. Nevertheless, if you belong the genus called homo, you will need sleep.

Maybe it isn't right to simply say we need sleep. We need the rest that sleep provides. Without that daily rest, it is more than conceivable that a person may soon expire... permanently. So, maybe it's more correct to say we need "restful sleep".

Sleep that is generally peaceful throughout, so that your body is replenished as well as your mind. Maybe that's what everybody means when they refer to "sleep". Taking for granted the mechanism and natural cycle of the body to replenish itself is a sinful thing.

Especially when nightmares pervade your sleep and you wake up mostly not knowing where you are.... Perhaps it's better not to sleep...

Good night..
