Sleep is the best of physicians
Sleep is that golden chaine that ties health and our bodies together
(Thomas Dekker 1572 -1632)
Sleep and watchfulness, both of whom, when immoderate, constitute disease
(Hippocrates c 460BC- c 377 BC)
Sleep is the only medicine that gives ease
(Sophocles c 496BC - c 406 BC)
The Ancient Greeks, one of the first to study sleep, valued sleep so significantly that they believed that it was a gift to be granted, or refused, by the god Morepheus.
Many of us know what it is like to go without sleep and how it can affect our mood and stress level.
When life gets busy, sleep is often the first activity that we sacrifice. Considered a luxury by many busy people, sleep is actually as vital to sustaining a balanced life as are breathing, eating, and drinking.
Sleep is the indispensable condition to the recuperation of energy. We go to bed fatigued and get up refreshed. Sleep repairs the wear and tear of the body and mind incurred during waking hours. Nothing is so restorative to the nerves as sound and uninterrupted sleep. Sleep is thus a vital element to our way of life.
