This is partially for people who tell me they can't meditate - I say, you potentially do it all the time.
But more, it's because I love sleep.
When I was ill, I would go days unable to sleep. This might have been the shittiest part of it because, not only was it horrible itself, it increased the horror, and my inability to do anything about it, of everything else. And oblivion was generally unavailable...
Currently, I never have trouble falling asleep, I sleep every opportunity I get, and I have made cats my heroes because of their Ability to close their eyes, take a nap, a enjoy a lovely few minutes every chance they get.
If you read that and your initial reaction is: "lazy jerk," maybe you could consider that sleep has historically been seen as sacred, and, perhaps, re-mythologize your attitude about the beauty of the snooze.
Trust me... No, don't trust me. Try it. You'll fall in love, too.
Falling for sleep: When wakefulness is seen as the main event, no wonder so many have trouble sleeping. Can we rekindle the joy of slumber?
