I like to sleep. Actually, I might not really know what sleep is like, but I like the results that it brings – that warm fuzzy feeling when you wake up: relaxed and comfortable. I think what I dislike most about sleep is the fact that it most often is broken by an alarm clock.
From what I hear, there are specific sleep cycles that we each have and that each person operates with differing success based on the quantity and quality of sleep they receive. I’ve heard about scientists who slept 15 minutes every four hours and were able to continue working on things that match their purpose in life. I like that idea – I’d like to learn how to best sleep for re-energizing myself and being the most productive individual I can be.
The other day on LifeHacker.com, I found a link to a BBC science website which allowed me to take a little quiz and to learn about my sleep patterns.
This is one of my dreams – to have the time, and the resources to hire people to help me understand with great detail my natural sleep cycle so that I can have more time in life to do the things that are important to me!
The other thing that I would LOOOVVVEEE to do is to get one of those really really comfy beds with a thick pillow-top mattress and soft but firm pillows. I love the feel of a down comforter, but I may be allergic to down… I’ll have to figure that one out too!
