Fighting for Sleep Everynight and Then One day ;)
I was the person who on a daily basis, was requesting to God for a good night's sleep. But, my dear God, I did not know why He/She was not listening to me. Every night, I crawled into the bed from one side to the other, sometimes watching out of the window of my room, to have a soothing sight of my lovely Moon, and, other times, I tried to do some moon meditation by visualizing the white light coming down on me from the stars and the moon. I just wanted to feel relaxed and fall asleep. But again found myself awake waiting for sleep.
Then around 3.00 -4.00 am, after listening to the morning chants coming from the Sri Darbar Sahib Gurudwara, Amritsar, I calmly fell asleep. This was my night routine and then in the morning around 7.00- 8.00 a.m, I did start my day. This was my sleeping pattern.
Then, Something astonishing happened to me one evening, I felt anxious that evening. I was puzzled, afraid of the strange feeling that I was experiencing. I told my mom, I am not feeling good and I want to visit the doctor. She very calmly told me, Dear, you should sleep now. I was shocked and told her that I can not. Because I am not feeling well. My eyes were red, the water was flowing out of my eyes and my body was restless. She then told me, you are feeling sleepy.
I was anxious is this how a person feels sleepy? I was worried.
And then, I followed my mother’s words, and, I went to bed, lay down, and closed my eyes. Do you know what happened then, I opened my eyes, it was 7.00 a.m. in the morning. I finally slept well. I was happy. I cried that morning. It was like I have achieved something. It was like a miracle happened to me.
It was like I had won everything in this world. This was one of my emotional and contented experiences.
Have you ever felt like this in your life?
