This post from UTNE Magazine is an incredible plea for us to get more rest. The post is actually an excerpt from an article by Matt Carmichael, a writer, teacher & activist, in the magazine Resurgence, which aims to raise the awareness of spiritual and ecological issues
He breaks down the forms of tiredness we feel during the day:
Sleepiness: When we're so tired we don't function properly
Fatigue: When we're tired of what we're doing; tired of our activities
Ennui: When we're tired (bored) of what we have
Satiation: When we're tired of consumption
The answer? Get more rest. And this will mean sacrifice; namely, choosing not to do some of the things we currently feel compelled to do.
What can you stop doing today? How will rest help you to focus more on other activities? How can getting more sleep help you be more productive and enjoy your "waking life"?
