Оглавление‘You cannot look at a sleeping cat and feel tense.’
JANE PAULEY
Each day a cat will spend about twelve to sixteen hours in blissful slumber. While asleep, the cat not only rests, but also builds up energy, ready for the rigours ahead.
Although our own sleep needs are different, like the cat we must not forget the value of sleep. Sleep allows us to unwind, assimilate thoughts and digest happenings, and prepares us mentally and physically for the day ahead. It’s essential to our well-being, and yet with the demands of modern-day life it can be tempting to cut back on sleep and keep long hours. Depriving ourselves of the rest our bodies need, however, can start to have a debilitating effect. Like a cat, we need to recognise the importance of sleep and how it not only helps our general health and mood, but also allows us to be more alert, productive and energised.
Do not ignore the value of sleep – something a cat knows all too well.
