…ah, but it is much more than that!
While “modern” man chooses to burn the candle at both ends… sleep is the natural period where the body and mind are not only intended to rest (refresh and relax) but it is the refurbishing period; it is the period where the body replenish the burnt/used up cells… ever noticed how we seem to go into a frozen state (if we wake up suddenly, in the middle of this cycle)? The body is replenishing itself… have you also not noticed how “aged” people who abuse their bodies (lack of sleep, chemical intake, junk food, etc.) look (that also goes for the makeup artists and those who use the human body as a chemistry kit)?
The old saying, ‘you are what you eat’ was not fully complete–it should be you are what you build!
Maran atha!
