5 Non Medical Benefits of Sleep

Sleep is something that is universally loved and adored. Some insomniacs beg for sleep while other bed head/couch potatoes are grateful for their ability to lay and close their eyes and dream. Heres 5 non medical benefits of sleep:

1. Dreaming. Dreaming is something that everyone adores. Now nightmares are a different story, but I have to say that since a young age I have been able to manipulate my dreams in order to make them as I wish. I am one of those people who believe dreaming relates to your real life. I don't know how, and no I don't have any scientific support to back me up, but I love dreaming and relating it back, it helps me learn more about myself.

2. Waking up and falling back to sleep. The best thing in the whole world is waking up and looking at your alarm clock and knowing you have four more hours of sleep left. I absolutely love that feeling. You smile and shove your face back into your pillow knowing, YES, I get a couple more amazing hours of sleep!

3. Being able to lay in bed and sleep all day. Now there are some of you who feel like you are wasting the day away, but I don't think that is true. You know how much dreaming you can get on if you sleep all day? It is absolutely the one benefit of being sick (besides missing school or work). Falling in and out of sleep is wonderful. It brings new dreams each and every time.

4. You aren't a grump. When I get a full night's worth of rest I can definitely say I am in a better mood. I have more patients and more motivation to be productive. I'm definitely nicer which puts everyone else in a good mood as well. Now what's better than that?

5. You need that beauty sleep. I don't care who you are or what you look like, but if you don't get good sleep, you can see it. You look more beautiful, more awake with a good night's sleep. I mean there are probably some people who love bags under your eyes, but out of the few I've met you don't have to use as much concealer under the eyes to cover those bags up if you have slept.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
