NATURAL SLEEP – LIFE GOES ON WHILE WE ARE ASLEEP (INTRODUCTION)
Strong impressions, agitation, fear and panic usually disturb the sleep pattern. The reflexes of the subconscious mind prevent quiet relaxation during sleep. After all, not every part of the body is asleep, many functions such as the circulation and, with it, the activity of the heart and the lungs, never stop to rest. If they stopped working our life would stop too. Digestion and everything linked with our metabolism continues working during the hours of sleep. Part of the brain rests, consciousness in particular being switched off, but other parts continue their function at a reduced rate.
We should not eat much in the evening and should avoid heavy or indigestible food completely; neither should our last meal of the day be taken late if we wish to prevent the subconscious mind, with its reactions and reflexes, giving us excitable and restless dreams that rob us of valuable energy for no good reason at all. It is of equal importance to try and forget the day’s happenings, perhaps by listening to some soothing music before going to bed.
