Give It a Rest, Will Ya

It's been a long time since I really got some good sleep. This morning I actually felt rested. Like refreshed. My heart felt like it was rested. Every inch of pericardium renewed. Like all my systems were rejuvenated. It's been a while. I guess I haven't had good sleep in recent days. Not enough REM sleep I think. One of the first mornings where I was up like at 7 something awake and not struggling to wake up with eyelids that weigh 100 lbs each. A nice change actually. I think I went to bed at 11 last night. Woke up like 7 something. Maybe it was the way I laid down. Hope it's not apnea. So anyways, sleep is one thing I think I take for granted sometimes.

One of the most neglected things in life, sleep is such an integral requirement in well being that we often overlook it and deprive ourselves of better being. I and the rest of my family are night owls so it's not rare that I stay up and hang til late in the morning doing whatever. In fact it's at night where I can concentrate more when I'm workings or whatever. Or maybe it's attritubed to my predilection for procrastination prevalent in my previous years. I remember working on various projects throughout junior high and high school, and especially college, up at all nights of the hour, going to Taco Cabana at 3:30 in the morning for some good beef fajitas. Working on a computer program. Or goofing off with friends at IHOP. Or crawling around in the underground tunnels under the university for fun. Well that's another story.

Yep so that's the deal. I guess I'm gonna try and get more rest when I can, since I'm no longer the 18 year old who could pull all nighters all the time. Especially to avoid muscle atrophy too. If you work out and not get enough rest, then it's kind of pointless since you don't give your self repair time so to speak to build yourself back up. Anyways, peace.
