At the end of each day, changing into comfortable clothing, making sure there is complete darkness, lying down on a chilled mattress, breathing deeply, relaxing every muscle, clearing the waking thoughts, drifting into a bottomless pit of nothingness, I sleep.  I love sleeping.  There are endless possibilities while being in the promise land.  Sleep gives the chance to clear the mind, file away or discard memories, and get rid of emotional responses and extra thoughts when making decisions.  For many, sleep is the only time to get away from everything in the outside world.  I believe sleep cures all.  I love sleep because it is my time to relax and not deal with anything.  While sleeping I don’t have to think about health issues, high school, homework, college, people, drama, nothing.  While sleeping I sometimes dream and with dreaming anything is possible because I can control my dreams.  Even though I believe dreams reflect everything stored in the back of the mind, I believe dreams are controlled by the deepest thoughts of a person.  Most of the time I do not acquire the required amount of sleep needed to fully function but then again what teenager does?  As much as I love sleep I also avoid it as much as possible at night. I like to stay up late and do nothing, for some odd reason, when I could be sleeping.  When I lack sleep for vast amounts of time I tend to take naps.  But when I do nap it is not a short nap it is hours of more sleep.  Once I had taken a nap around four in the afternoon and then I ended up sleeping until seven the morning the next day.  Sleep is one of the only things that make me happy in life.  The best thing about sleep is that it rejuvenates the body, gives the brain time to store information, replace chemicals, and solve problems.  Sleep is the best simplicity of life.
