Rest

I have come to the conclusion that rest is very different from sleep. I know I get sleep and sometimes I feel rested but sometimes I don't.

I also know that no one really knows why this happens. They can give you  examples of things to try to make you feel rested, or promise you that this pill or that theory will do the trick.

But no one really knows about the complexities of the mind, and what rest really is. We hang around for a time in some sort of unconscious state with our mind, sometimes travelling at the speed of thought to strange places and events real or imagined. The body may stay where it is or may even move about in our sleep but still I am brought to the word, why?

Why do we sleep?

Why do we sometimes get rested?

Why can't I ever seem to catch up on lost sleep?

I think maybe it's time I was in bed...
