Free Blog on Sleep-Evan Shively

The idea of sleeping has always been a strange thing to me. It has always seemed no unnecessary, preventing me from getting so much done. Wouldn’t an evolutionarily perfect creature have no need for sleep or less need for sleep? Recently however, I developed a new understanding of sleep. Sleep allows us to give each new day meaning; it lets us get a new start each day. It also makes our time that much more precious as we know the time of the day is limited. I think that this idea of sleep directly relates to pilgrimage. Pilgrimage can provide someone the exact same thing. First off it can provide rest for the mind and body from society. Second, it allows a pilgrim to create new meaning. Third is allows a pilgrim to create a new fresh start. Lastly it shows the pilgrim how important his time on earth is.
