Sleep
What is sleep?
All animals take rest once a day. Sleep is another name for taking complete rest. All senses remain in dormant condition during sleep. Sleep is some sort of short-time hibernation.
Humans and most animals generally sleep during the night. Owls remain awake during the night and take rest in the daytime. When I work during the night, I also have to sleep during the day.
Plants cook food by a process called photosynthesis. Plants use their chromophil, take carbon dioxide from the environment, and carry out photosynthesis with the help of Sunlight. Synthesizing food from carbon dioxide must be tedious work. So, most likely, plants also take rest during the night.
After hard work during the day or night, I like sleeping
Getting a sound sleep during the night is the best rest one can have. Sometimes, tensions in the real world may disturb our routine of sleeping. In worst situations, it may also so happen that one may get into a trap of "no sleep" called insomnia.
I generally don't skip my sleep. If I don't sleep at least seven hours a day, I don't feel good. Without having enough hours of sleep, I get severe headaches.
I feel so good when I go to bed after I complete all my chores in the family. I can think of some pleasant stories and quickly go into a deep sleep. I don't exactly remember how long it generally takes to fall asleep.
What is your sleeping routine?
Do you have a regular schedule for sleeping in a day? Or, do you like to sleep anytime you get a break from work? What is your sleeping routine?
I know a senior IT personnel from Pune, Maharashtra, India who strictly follows the famous quote by Benjamin Franklin that says, "Early to bed and early rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." He goes to bed by 8:30 PM and wakes up by 4:30 AM in the morning. His is an exceptional sleeping routine.
Franklin's quote is a super quote by a great inventor of science. This quote matches my framework of "inspiration plus a few actionable advice." It advises you to go to bed early and get up early in the morning. Following "Early to bed and early to rise" is so simple yet so rewarding for life!
Although a bit late, I am ready to sleep now
I feel so relaxing before going to bed.
Sometimes, I remember my childhood days of playing with my friends. Sometimes, I hum a favorite song and close my eyes. It is not possible for me to make out when I slip into a deep sleep. It is such a good feeling to enter the kingdom of sleep.
Bye for now. See you all tomorrow.

When I was still working I could follow that routine, sleep at 8:30 and woke up at 4:30am.. But now sadly I sleep so late at night and I felt guilty on that. Hopefully I can get back in right track.
