The site continues with a list of other side effects and symptoms that relate to not getting enough sleep. If I were leading a live class in this moment, I would ask if there is any one who feels they get enough sleep each night. My guess is that we would see no hands go up. While it is true we think we value having enough sleep, in truth we don't value it enough to make it a reality. We know we need more sleep, but we don’t have the time or energy to do the things necessary to get it. Sounds contradictory, doesn’t it?
While recovering from surgery, I spent the better part of 10 days sleeping, meditating, learning to maneuver a wheelchair, and surrendering to being in the moment.

Well, you can’t argue with the body, and during recovery, my body took over. And though it is hard to say when I was “caught up” on sleep, I began to notice a shift even by the second or third day. I was thinking clearer and felt “space” to be creative and imaginative, allowing for intuitive problem-solving.
I certainly qualified as “sleep deprived,” prior to surgery, since getting less than eight hours of good sleep per night is considered sleep deprivation. I was at best getting six hours and it was easy to recognize the signs that I probably needed more: feeling harried, rushed, more stressed [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and scattered. But like most people, I simply absorbed those feelings into my regular routine. Everyone is busy, right?
They go on to state, “The trend in industrialized nations over the last hundred years suggests that people are increasingly sleep deprived. In 1910, the average person slept 9.0 hours a night. By 1975, the total had fallen to 7.5 hours. The 2002 Sleep in America poll, conducted by the NSF, indicates that the average American adult now only sleeps 6.9 hours a night, leading to fatigue, exhaustion and other symptoms. Shift workers suffer more than other people: many shift workers average only five hours a night.”
By one week, there were noticeable changes in thought patterns, mood, positive outlook, connections with self on all levels, and I imagine the opportunity for more rapid physical healing. While that is not a scientifically researched response, my personal healing that was occurring at that time was rapid and successful. The most I slept a day was nine hours, including naps, which certainly lends credence to the idea that sometimes the best medicine is a nap.

While each of these activities was rewarding, I would like to focus on the value of what can happen in your mind, body, and life once necessary sleep requirements have been met.
Naps are important. Like many adults, I viewed naps as a luxury―even a guilty pleasure. After all, I should be accomplishing things all day, not sleeping, right? Wrong. When we don’t get enough sleep during our allotted sleep time (night), we must make up for it, lest we suffer the consequences of
Sleep is essential. Our bodies need time to shut down. It is during this period of rest that it goes to work, healing sore and tense muscles, or recovering from the trauma of surgery. But it is not just our physical body that benefits from rest. Our minds need this time to flow freely, uncluttered by worry or to-do lists. It is no surprise that as the number of sleep-deprived adults in this country increases, so seemingly do the number of anti-anxiety and depression medications available, pain relievers, and (imagine this) sleep aides.
According to “Sleep deprivation is a common condition that afflicts 47 million American adults, or almost a quarter of the adult population. Symptoms can interfere with memory, energy levels, mental abilities, and emotional mood.”

Surely we all know this from reading it in any number of magazines targeting health, beauty, and science. Having knowledge gleaned from reliable sources is valuable. Having personal experience is priceless. Catching up on sleep is a sensuous, mind-expanding, life-enhancing state.
