as described to me by a healing friend.\u00a0 My first tip off was when I decided on a Wednesday afternoon that I suddenly needed to rest.\u00a0 Fortunately, I followed my body&#8217;s demands and crawled in bed.\u00a0 I promptly went to sleep and woke up on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday morning, I was quite tired but felt better.\u00a0 I drank a lot of water, ate fresh fruit, and made it to the doctor&#8217;s office on Monday to find out what my problem was.\u00a0 Within a couple of hours, I had had enough blood tests, x-rays, and other scans to learn that I not only had the enormous sinus infection but I also had pneumonia.<\/p>\n<p>I also had a physician who was angry at me, a daughter nurse who was angry at me, and several other medical professionals who were angry.<\/p>\n<p>I doubt if I&#8217;ll have this experience repeat itself again.\u00a0 And, I&#8217;m certain that this sleep, while highly therapeutic, may have needed some breaks for hydration, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, I&#8217;m also convinced that, on some level, the sleep helped my situation.<\/p>\n<p>I was fortunate because I fell\u00a0 asleep without trouble.\u00a0 Sleep is not always available to people who are ill or suffering with troubled health for whatever reason.<\/p>\n<p>And, sometimes people are ill and need nothing more than a good night&#8217;s sleep to make things better.\u00a0 So, encouraging a good night&#8217;s sleep on a regular basis is a good thing.\u00a0 Sleep, experienced regularly, is important for wellness and good health in general.<\/p>\n<p>What provision do you make for a regular sleep schedule which includes enough sleep every night?\u00a0 Are you able to include enough hours to offer therapy to your self and lifestyle?<\/p>\n<p>Is your pillow adequate for the job?<\/p>\n<p>Truthfully, I&#8217;ve blogged many times and will blog many times more about all the things a person can do to get enough sleep.\u00a0 Keep after your sleep until you are able to support your physical, mental, and spiritual health.<\/p>\n<p>The first step involves honoring your self and your need to sleep well in order to live well.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading this blog post.\u00a0 Please refer it to your favorite social media network.<\/p>\n<p>Thurman Greco<\/p>\n<p>Artwork provided by Jennette Nearhood<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For all that&#8217;s written and spoken about sleep, we all know on some level that sleep is a complex, spiritual event necessary to maintain our health and keep the body and soul together.
