Sleep
Haiku Heights -Day 25, P#184- Sleep.
Taken for granted
Until One is all deprived
Sound Sleep and Slumber
More than once suffered
I just could not reason why
Wide awake like Owl
More Precious than Food
Losing Weight was Terrible
Let it be no more
I experienced twice the in the past of not being able to sleep like I usually do. My doctor prescribed medication to enable me to sleep. But it made me feel terrible after waking up. I pray that such bouts of sleeplessness shall not occur in my whole lifetime because it takes a heavy toll on one's well being.

Dear Hal,
losing sleep takes a toll on our health. Not being able to sleep is just as bad. The trick apparently is to tire one self with exercises during the day. Sportsmen sleep like a log for that reason. Makes sense! Nicely!

One may not realise that sleep is one of the greatest Blessing from Allah. You only value it once you have been deprived of it.
Normally I have no problem with sleep, but perhaps once in one's lifetime, a lesson had to be learnt how valuable and precious is the God-given Gift.
