I like sleeping very much. If I want to sleep, I can sleep for 8 or 9 hours.
On the other hand, if I don’t sleep at least 7 hours every day, I get out of shape. I usually take a 30-minute morning nap after reading or writing as part of my daily routine.
On weekends and holidays, I add an hour for a nap. In total, I sleep for more than 12 hours some days.
However, I believe this is the best way for me to stay healthy. I read in a book somewhere that sleep not only resets the brain, but also cleanses the body by causing the brain to secrete substances that detoxify the body. This is not enough if the sleep is too short or too shallow. This explanation really made sense to me.
When animals are not feeling well, they sleep first, and then they sleep until they recover. When they are not feeling well, they sleep, and they sleep until they recover. （When an animal is not feeling well, it first sleeps until it recovers (although it is said that sometimes it dies as it is).
This is how they recover from most physical ailments, including injuries. Of course, there is no alarm clock in human society.
Sometimes, when I hear about people complaining of physical ailments, I wonder if they are not sleeping properly after all, whether it is physical (work) or mental (insomnia).
Of course, there are many who are unable to sleep because of direct physical pain, itching, or various symptoms. But the reality is that the rest of us are not trying to sleep for one reason or another.
Reduce the amount of time spent looking at your phone. Stop playing distracting games. That alone should help you get a little more sleep.
I am often asked what my secret is for looking so healthy, and I tell them that I sleep anyway. I don’t know what kind of expert I’ll become, but sometimes I think I’d rather be a professional in that field than a novelist who doesn’t even make any money.
In addition to sleep as a health practice, I also simply like the idea of sleeping. As anyone would, I really like to dream.
I have had a frightening variety of dreams since I was a little girl. From nightmares to happy dreams. From great adventures to dreams of swimming as a turtle. All of them are full screen, all in color.
Some of them are a proper series. In my dreams, I find myself looking back to the last time I did this. Some of them are series that I like quite a bit, and I have tried to force myself to go back to sleep right after waking up, wanting to watch the rest of the series, like a drama that I liked.
Furthermore, this is a dream. There are also dreams in which I know exactly what I’m doing, and I’m thinking, “What the hell am I doing? There are also dreams in which I am asleep in the dream, and I am dreaming there. There were also such intricate situations.
In this case, it is not the butterfly’s dream as described by Zhuangzi. It is a dream within a dream that Hu butterfly sees. Then it is a world that makes you fundamentally doubt what your true self is.
And, hilariously, like Neo, the hero of the movie Matrix, the self in it is smilingly clear-headed and can move like a superhuman.
Not only can I fly, but I can also solve difficult philosophical propositions with ease. In my dreams, I think that if I could bring this to the waking world, I would win the Nobel Prize.
But in reality, when I wake up from the dream, I am so stunned that I cannot remember anything about the important answers. It is exactly like disappearing in a bubble. As soon as I wake up, I say, “Ahhh,” sigh, and that’s it.
The body is indeed excited. I still feel that I have solved the mystery of existence. So you can’t forget this kind of excitement and you want to dream again.
However, if you sleep with too many evil thoughts, it may turn out to be a dream of being chased by a murderer.
There are many definitions of the dreams we dream. After all, they may be “stories” that we imagine.
And in reality, we are also creating a “story” that is a kind of dream. This means that most of us who are alive are dreaming. Is it really me who dreams, or am I dreaming? I ponder.
Then, without coming to a conclusion, I get sucked into the next dream. Recently, I have been thinking that it would not be so bad to live and die only in my dreams.
See you later
