The fantastico thing called sleep!

Sleep is the best thing in life. Some people have the opinion that sleep is a waste of time; the necessity to sleep has led to the loss of several potentially productive hours of our lives. They say it leads to decreased time for us humans to perform wonders, like we do when we are awake. While I completely agree with that notion, I am also thankful to be able to set aside some time in my day to simply do nothing; it's fantastico.

At the end of a long day, when all you have done is slog and toil, when you have tirelessly worked hard with no break for yourself, the best feeling is that of being able to sleep. The feeling when you know that you can stretch yourself out on your bed under the covers; the satisfaction of knowing that there's nothing to be done in the next few hours is simply fantastico! What is a better thing to do when you finally get some time to yourself than to give your body and mind the wholesome rest that it's been aching and longing for, from so many hours?

When you've had a bad day, what can be a better feeling at the end of it than that of knowing that for the next few hours, you're allowed to escape your life? And the best part is that when you wake up next, it's a new day, and that means new hope! I remember many nights when I went to sleep feeling as rotten as ever, only to wake up feeling strong and fresh with an attitude that would help me take over the world.

When we know exams are nearing, my batch mates and me give up sleep and all sorts of other comforts, for months together to have enough time to study hard and try our hand at learning everything there is to be learnt in each subject. Before we are even finished with our attempts, the tiring, tedious two weeks of exams are done. On the day of the last exam, my friends all make extensive plans to have fun, but I always head straight home, to hit the sack. Being able to sink into the covers and let my burning eyes close, assuming whatever position I find the most comfortable; there's nothing more fantastico than that luxury! Sleep is a luxury even a poor man can afford. All you need is just a little time and some space. The break from your busy life  and noisy thoughts is all you need to feel relaxed; this is all you need to feel rejuvenated enough to give you energy to wake up the next morning and be back at your battles. In fact, sleep is what helps humans be effective and create wonders, and be fantastico like they were always meant to be!
