I love sleeping!
Sleeping in on a Saturday morning. It's not the weekend if I can't sleep in on at least one morning. When it's been a really crazy day or week - the best part of that day or week is laying my weary little "pip" on that pillow and drifting off into a blissful slumber!
Afternoon naps are just as heavenly. Sometimes I feel so refreshed after a good 2 hour snooze, that I wake up feeling like a brand new person ready to conquer the whole world! I also like to do these power naps where I lie on the carpet with my legs up on the bed. I set my alarm and I pass out for 15min. This position makes the blood run to my head and I wake up with a whole lot of zing! :) Some naps though, I practically drop off the planet! And I wake up feeling SO disorientated I bump into walls and stuff!! But that's such a great feeling too - means I've slept deeeply!
Sleep is a form of therapy too. I think psychs use it to treat depression patients or trauma victims. I've slept just to escape reality sometimes - I don't know if that's a good thing - but I guess it's fine if I don't make a habit of it. At least I'm not getting high on acid to escape life...somehow I figure that's a no-go! ;)
I've also heard that sleep deprivation is used to torture people and some actually die from lack of sleep! Scary! One's body literally regenerates itself through sleep, so it's vital for healthy living - even for survival. I have no idea how people manage on 3 hours a night - it actually makes me nervous to think about it!

Never mind those people though, I'm just SO grateful for sleep! I can't function without it!
