Are you sleep deprived? Or are you one of those who feel like just 4 hours of sleep is what their bodies need to get going?

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), sleep is increasingly recognized as important to public health, with sleep insufficiency linked to motor vehicle crashes, industrial disasters, and medical and other occupational errors. Unintentionally falling asleep, nodding off while driving, and having difficulty performing daily tasks because of sleepiness all may contribute to these hazardous outcomes.

SLEEP

Respite to the mind betrayed through illnesses
An escape for a mind so exhausted
Yes even a lunatic is sane in his sleep
A switch off in the midst of storms so persistent

A portal into peacefulness
The only chance to catch a breath so needed
The doorway to Neverland
The place where dreams live

Even the bars on a prisoner's jail fades
And freedom he finds in his sleep
It gently peels down the fear, the walls, and worries
Revealing a Vulnerability so human.

Now I can't wait to go to sleep
Pass me the divines analgesic for living
Cause this life is all a dream
And everything comes to life in sleep
