THE HEALING POWER OF SLEEP

Sleep is  a wonderful thing. You can go to bed absolutely knackered and totally without energy, yet wake up the next day completely refreshed. Without doing anything.

Even more remarkable is the way the body heals itself during the sleep process. I have a terrible cold and cough at the moment, and felt awful last night. This morning, it is ten times better. I can tell that I have sweated a lot during the night, but otherwise I haven't done anything.
