You spend about one-third of your life sleeping. How much can we learn about ourselves and life through sleep? While sleep represents a critical alternate state of awareness in our lives, we still do not fully understand all aspects of sleep. But we sure love it when we sleep well and have delightful dreams.
Some people value sleep as a nutritional gap in their reality. A time where they can lie down in a comfortable bed and disengage from the world during those few hours. Some value sleep for its regenerative properties. You can sleep after a physically and mentally hard day’s work and awake refreshed, physically healed, and with a new perspective.
But why can’t some people sleep at night? Insomnia disorder is one of the sleep disorders, and its symptoms are mainly difficulty in going to sleep naturally. There are many reasons for suffering from insomnia, both physical and psychological. For example, work makes you nervous, excessively excited, depressed, or temporary business trips cause jet lag and sleep environment changes. Sometimes you may experience short-term insomnia.
A study from the University of Manchester found that people with positive thoughts slept longer and reported better sleep quality than people with negative thoughts. You can train yourself to switch negative to positive thoughts through sleep quotes.
These sleep quotes for better sleep would help you to build positive vibes before bed–and then get some sleep.
