Sleep

Sleep is where tomorrow begins.

Without sleep, the mind slowly drifts towards chaos. With good sleep, the body heals, the mind settles, and the day ahead begins with quiet strength.

Whenever life allows, let your body decide when it has rested enough. If you must wake before you are ready, let it remind you that sleep is not a luxury, but a necessity.

The morning offers something the rest of the day cannot. Do not sleep through it if you can help it. Rise in time to greet the quiet hours before the world becomes busy.

Notice what steals your sleep, and what protects it. Learn which foods, drinks, thoughts and habits leave your evenings restless, and which prepare you for peace.

Do not carry more into the night than you must. Let the day be complete before you close your eyes.

A day lived with purpose prepares a peaceful night.

Begin the day with gratitude for a good night’s sleep.

Honour your need for rest, and sleep will quietly become your greatest ally.
