To sleep or not to sleep
Sleep supplements are surely and odd thing.
A supplement is something added to make up for a deficiency, to complete something, to make something whole.
If I supplement my diet when hitting the gym I may take a high carbohydrate drink or even just a banana. Both will give me loads of energy.
How do I supplement sleep though?
Do not get me wrong I appreciate I can take herbal remedies that will aid or encourage sleep. I am just not sure what I could supplement it with and even if I would want to.
Sleep just is. You either are, or you are not, asleep.
It has a purpose in that it recharges our batteries. It stops our brains from fuzzing over and breaking. It gives us a use for our beds which otherwise would be redundant.
Now I go to bed and lay awake at night wondering what the devil I can supplement my sleep with. Can I add in some lazing? Maybe I can drape myself over the edge of my bed when I am not sleeping. Yes maybe that is it. I could lay over the edge of the bed, eyes closed just pondering. As long as I do not consider supplements.
The other day I tried this and fell asleep. Damn my supplement to sleep was taken from me by sleep. I awoke to find myself so refreshed I could no longer lay out comfortably.
I can only imagine that meditation is the only real sleep supplement.
Can I buy that then?
