Holy, Sacred Sleep is Equivalent to Meditation

Deep sleep is the reason why we crave more and more sleep

That’s me sleeping carefree! Picture by the author.

There must be something holy and sacred about sleep. It is not without a reason that so many people love sleep the most.

No.

In fact, deep sleep can be compared to meditation. It’s the reason why we crave more and more sleep.

Though one lifetime is not enough to study all about sleep, but how we fall into and wake up from sleep might hold the answer to our awakening.

That’s why I try my best to be awake during sleep or at least be aware of the moment when I drift off. And then try to lucid dream.

Here is something I wrote on sleep during my college years:

I want to see my sleep. But whenever it comes, eyes and I sleep.

What are your views on sleep?
