Sleep is the best thing.

It is the cradle of healing, the basis of patience, a bolster to competence and presence.

It is the aliment of growth, the spark of celerity, the scaffold for grit and achievement.

Without it, the mind is sluggish, the body weak and agonized, the self oppressed and eroded.

To postpone sleep is tempting: children are asleep, the world is quiet, and work is a concern for daylight hours.

But to forego sleep is ultimately pernicious, and to guard it against dissolution or encroachment is an act of utmost self care.

Truly, it is the foundation of all well-being.
