#269 Take a powernap

Going to work will from now on be done swimmingly. Do not forget to take lunchtime walks, rearrange furniture and to have coffee with someone you do not know. Here is the final part of "Seven things you can do at your workplace".

Sleep and I have not always been good friends. Nowadays, I sleep eight hours every night and feel good when I wake up. This has not always been the case. When I was three I had nightmares about bunkers and falling bombs. When I was five, I had to be hospitalized because I couldn’t sleep. When I was ten, I was dependant on comic books to be able to fall asleep. When I was a teenager I wrote poetry at four in the morning as it was then that the sacred inspiration took the opportunity to show its unholy face. When I was 19 I cried because I had left home and felt like the loneliest person alive. When I was 22 I thought that my bed was in an aquarium and that my city had become invaded by aliens who were conducting nuclear tests in my basement. It turned out that I had eaten Rosenrot against my daily fatigue. The pills had a strange and hallucinatory side effect. Be careful with healthy extracts. Especially the over the counter ones.

Sleep and I have started to get to know each other. I have begun to appreciate the heavy eyelids and the body's decline against the mattress. Nowadays, I can sleep almost anywhere. Watching TV, against my desk or taking a power nap on a couch in a cool place at work. I am not ashamed of my new intimate relationship with sleep. It makes me a better and fitter man. A better and brighter me makes the people around me feel better. And the inspiration of the Holy lurks in every corner of daylight now. We know each other.
