Talking about sleep, I find my thoughts and body have different working
periods sometimes. So, for example, most of the time the body is not tired,
but sometimes it is, so sleep is moreso related to mental function.
Going without sleep for some time, for example twenty-four to thirty-six
hours, at that point there are fatigue toxins in your brain, and you will
probably sleep longer afterwards than if you were only awake for sixteen or
twenty hours, perhaps twelve hours, but maybe even fourteen hours.
Establishing regular sleep time patterns is a good thing, particularly if you
just turn off the lights and go to sleep.
