Resting Is A Valuable Action
I told someone I had taken a nap.
They told me I shouldn’t be so lazy. I should be working.
It was said as a ‘joke’. But I know they truly feel that way.
And that’s wrong, so very, very wrong.
Thinking of rest, of sleep as being lazy or non-productive is dangerous, unhealthy thinking.
Rest is REQUIRED by our bodies. It is when our cells repair or replace themselves the most.
And that includes our brain cells.
If we lie down and we fall asleep, our bodies NEEDED that sleep.
If we’re tired, our bodies NEED sleep. That’s our brain telling us to get our a$$ to bed. It isn’t a funsie or random message. It is a cry for help from our brains and our bodies.
During times of stress or grief, we usually need more rest. Because stress and grief f*ck up our bodies. It damages our bodies and our brains. And we require more time focused on healing.
If you’re tired, sleep.
You need it.
