Is sleep important for happiness ?

The question whether sleep is important for happiness leads us to the question whether body is important for happiness.

Well, if we follow the method of selection by elimination, how do you feel if you are short on sleep or sleep deprived or your sleep patterns are disturbed.

We feel drowsy, dull and certainly, all that is the opposite of refreshed and energised. 

Then another question - 

Can you complete a 100 km trip with a broken car ?  or, 

If you have a headache, can you write an AI program.

Some of us, hardy ones to say, will say why not?

But most of us would think it wise to get the car repaired and the headache cured before we undertake the task.

Same is the case with sleep, 

happiness means awakening, awareness, consciousness. - 

A fresh mind will be a better environment for these experiences.

So, Sleep well- complete your sleep cycle everyday and you will feel it.

Because in this life, Time changes everything. Time makes beggars out of Kings and Kings out of beggars. Whatever your situation situation, Remember this, This too shall pass.

"I was reading a few beautiful lines of Michael Adam:  'Perhaps trying even makes for unhappiness.  Perhaps all the din of my desiring has kept the  strange bird from my shoulder.  I have tried so long and so loud after happiness.  I have  looked so far and wide.  I have always imagined that happiness is an island in the river.  Perhaps it is the river.  I have thought happiness to be the name of an inn at the end of the  road.  Perhaps it is the road.  I have believed that happiness was always tomorrow and  tomorrow and tomorrow.  Perhaps it is here. Perhaps it is now.  I have looked everywhere  else. 'So: here and now. ' But here and now is clearly unhappiness.  Perhaps then, no such  thing as happiness.  Perhaps happiness exists not, it is just a dream created by an unhappy  mind.  Certainly it cannot be as I unhap...

Thoughts - The ever running train.

Thoughts, thoughts and thoughts. Endless train of thoughts continue to run in one's mind. They make one sick. One  just wants to kill the damn thoughts. They suck the energy out of the whole of one's existence. And they bring the core to unhappiness. One just wants to get rid of them. What to do ? The answer lies in seeing, watching, observing them. Don't run away from them. One can't because they reside at the very core of us. Just see them. I may sound preaching. Just try and see what happens.  to be continued...
