Night Swimming
We spend roughly a third of our lives asleep. Do you buy the rote reason given? That it's when our bodies heal. And that's it. Not a very efficient pit stop, is it? Eight hours to heal the damage we do during the other 16? The recent addition to that is sleeping hours are when our brain processes, then stores our day. Really? That doesn't quite pass the BS test for me either. I've no doubt that's part of it, but does our computer, once we shut our laptops for the evening spend the next X hours processing what we created, wrote, edited, sent and designed? No. It did that during the working hours. Why would our brains be any different?
All this is a super long way of saying, I believe it's time to take an honest at sleep, or what I've come to call, 'Night Swimming.'
Great minds like Carl Jung and Alfred Einstein, Nikola Tesla, hell! Oprah, all have wondered what is really happening during our sleeping hours. What is happening? What the hell are we doing? Let's get into it!
