Sleep terrors. Do they affect you?
When the mind is in a resting state, all sorts of weird events take place within the body, sometimes resulting in physical expressions even the person is not aware of. Sleep terrors occur when a person ends up screaming in terror while asleep, at times not even remembering it ever happened. Other forms of peculiar activities that can take place while a person is asleep are sleep eating, sleep driving, sleep sex-ing and sleep walking (the most common of all).
While they are catogorised as sleeping diseases that afflict the lives of many, the reasons of the occurences are no less related to our lifestyles. It still all boils down to us and how we go about our daily routine. Basically, if the moments we spend awake are terrorised by stress and worries with little or no time at all in a day to calm down and be at peace, the chances are we are prone to having nightmares, insomnia and all kinds of sleeping disorders due to the inability of the brain to tune down all the chaos accumulated during the day.
It was interesting to learn from the Oprah Show that while our ancestors used to maintain a ritual of sorts that eventually led to restful sleeps, such as dimming the lights, shutting out noise and donning on lose clothings before going to bed, we now are drowned in a world full of distractions. You know what I mean - the TV, the computer, Internet, clubs, etc. It is no wonder then that our minds are perpetually in a weary labyrinth of confusion and disorder thanks to advanced states of development (pun intended).
The time has come for us to realise the disorderly condition of the world that is now and take measures to keep the clarity of our minds intact.
The heart and the mind are vital components of us all, and they shall be treated with utmost care and prudence.
God Bless Us!
