SLEEP part 1

what is Sleep?

There are over 20 definitions of "sleep" in several dictionaries. The first, a verb, seems most appropriate: to take the rest afforded by a suspension of voluntary bodily functions and the natural suspension, complete or partial, of consciousness; cease being awake.

Physiologically, sleep is a complex process of restoration and renewal for the body. Scientists still do not have a definitive explanation for why humans have a need for sleep. We do know that sleep is not a passive process or "switching off" of body functions; sleep is believed to be important in many physiologic processes including the processing of experiences and the consolidation of memories. It is also clear that sleep is essential, not only for humans but for almost all animals.

The importance of sleep is underscored by the symptoms experienced by those suffering from sleep problems. People suffering from sleep disorders do not get adequate or restorative sleep, and sleep deprivation is associated with a number of both physical and emotional disturbances. In addition, sleep is influenced by the circadian rhythms (regular body changes in mental and physical characteristics that occur in the course of about 24 hours). These are controlled by brain neurons that respond to light, temperature and hormones and other signals and comprise the body's biological clock. This clock helps regulate the "normal" awake and sleep cycles. Disruption of these cycles can make people sleepy at times people want to be awake. For example, travelers experience "jet lag" when they cross time zones. When a New Yorker arrives in Paris at midnight Paris time, his or her body continues to operate (their biological clock) on New York time. It may take some time (about 1-3 days) to reset a person's biologic clock, depending on how much it has been altered by the time change.

There is evidence that some aspects of sleep are under genetic influence; a gene termed DEC2 is being investigated as causing people that possess it to require only about 6 hours of sleep. Researchers have only begun to examine the genetics involved in sleep.

Every Morning Talk {EMT}: GOOD THINKING GOOD PRODUCT

George Washington Carver died on this day in 1943. The formal slave had become a renowned scientist, internationally recognized for his agricultural reseach, and was honored with numerous awards. Carver is especially noted for creating more than three hundred products from peanuts, such as a milk substitute, printer's ink, and soup. He also developed over seventy-five product from pecans and more than a hundred products from sweet potatoes, including flour, shoe polish and candy.
It's amazing to think that someone could create three hundred useful product from a peanut! It's also impossible for our finite minds to grasp the fact that God created everything we see from nothing, the book of Genesis told us. Since we are created in God's image, we have an inherent creative drive. Any creative act we perform is an act of worship to the One who placed that spark in us.

Just Believe that God will create something amazing out of your life today. Amen

MAKING YOUR REALITY AN OPPORTUNITY

Lousi Braille was born on this day in 1809 in Coupvray, France. At age three, he was permanently blinded by an accident with a leather-making awl in his father's saddlery. When Braille was fifteen, he began revising a method of writing that had been develop for trench warfare communication by army captain Charles Barbier. Barbier''s system was rejected by the military as too complex, but Braille hoped it could be useful for blind people. Ironically, he used an awl-like stylus to make small, raised dots on paper that could be felt and interpreted. This system was not officially accepted until after Braille died in poverty in 1852. Today it is universally accepted for all written languages and for mathematics, science, and computer notation.
We seem to be surronded by senseless tragedies like the accident that blinded Braille in his childhood. In the Old Testament, Joseph's jealous brothers sold him into slavery. He was falsely accused of attempted rape and spent years in prison. Yet he rose up to become the second-most-powerful person in Egypt and many nations during a time of great famine. Joseph later assured his brothers, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good" Genesis 50:20.
As believers, we have the promise that he is working out all things ____even our hurts, disappointments, and tragedies____for our good and glory.

What painful situation has God used for good in your life??????

QUOTES OF REALITIES.

• I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be. Ken Venturi. 

•  Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light. Helen Keller. 

•  “You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” ― Dr. Seuss.

•   “People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality, If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.” ― Jim Morrison.

•  “We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don't even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets! It's time to put an end to this. It's time for us to let ourselves be loved.” ― C. JoyBell C.

•  “Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.” ― Søren Kierkegaard.
