“The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life a little above the level of farce, and gives it some of the grace of tragedy.” – Steven Weinberg

Even though we spend a third of our lives doing it, not many people understand what sleep is for. The mere fact that some people are able to survive without it makes that even more complicated. Personally, I love sleep. Not only is it just what my body needs to recharge after a long day but I find it great for coming up with creative solutions to problems I may be dealing with. Trust that your mind will give you whatever answers you seek by keeping a dream journal close to your bed. Jot down whatever comes up and spend time figuring out what it all means. The subconscious mind is much more powerful than we’ll ever know.
