According to Tao wisdom—the ancient wisdom from Lao Tzu, who lived some 2600
years ago—things are not as they seem, nor are they
otherwise. In other words, everything is "objectification of the
mind"—or simply put, an illusion of the mind. Tao wisdom may show you the
ultimate truth of everything. Life is a continual process of discovery of the
ultimate truth; it is an eternal journey of exploring and awakening. This
enlightenment may help you solve many of your daily problems that may
cause sleep problems.
Tao wisdom may play a pivotal role in your sleep health.
Do you have enough sleep? It is a wrong concept that you can adapt yourself to getting less sleep so that
you may have more waking time. If you think you can be a thief of time and
outsmart Nature, think again! You will always have to pay back your accumulated
“sleep debt” somehow in the form of sleep disorders, which underlie many
diseases, including heart attacks and strokes. Chronic fatigue due to
insufficient sleep will take its toll somehow and sometime. As a matter of
fact, your immune system needs more than nine hours of sleep in total darkness in
order to recharge itself completely. Turn off all lights even though you can
sleep with some lights on.
Find out if you have enough sleep for your daily good health
maintenance: Start going to bed a half-hour earlier this week.
If your alarm clock wakes you up, keep going to bed a half-hour
earlier each week until you wake up before the alarm clock wakes you up.
That will be the hours of sleep
you really need. Each individual's need is unique. Just don’t deprive yourself of sleep. Health rejuvenation
requires daily restful sleep.
Tao wisdom may relieve your stress, which,
according to Lao Tzu, comes from the ego, which comes from the mind that
perceives the self. Let go of the ego, you may let go of all attachments in the
material world that create the ego-self. No ego, no stress, and sleep better.
