I am a person who has never had respect for sleep but that is probably because I always sleep well. However many of my acquaintances suffer what they think is insomnia but really, in most cases their problem sleeping is more likely because of lack of preparation for sleep rather than an inability to sleep.
Most people now days take the fundamental gifts of life for granted, they think that because we are born healthy, breath naturally, sleep naturally and make love naturally which are things that we don’t need to be taught. They think that they can’t improve on their technique.
If that were the case the Kama Sutra would never have been composed, Meditation and yoga would not have been invented.
The truth is that sleep is a journey and like every journey you take, you require to prepare before hand so that everything goes right, in the best possible physical & mental state.
If you suffer from inability to sleep do not just accept it – do something that’s really practical about it.
