Teens And Sleep
Overall rating: (N/A)
The article "Teens and Sleep" talks about family, it has been created by Marie Zenack.
Sleep is nature's way of renewing and maintaining
balance-physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Teenagers need
about 9.5 hours of sleep each night.
It is thought that sleep
requirements raise for teens because the hormones that are
essential for maturing bodies are released mainly during sleep.
Yet studies show that most teenagers only get about 7.4 hours of
sleep a night. This is not enough for a teen to be healthy.
Lack of sleep leaves us confused and undirected, open to the
chaotic influences of others who are also sleep-deprived. Deep
and regular sleep keeps us in close contact with our own inner
knowing and moves us steadily toward the accomplishment of our
own goals.
Regular sleep is also the basis for developing clear intuition,
that inner voice that repersents our truest desires. Throughout
history wise guys and girls have used the quiet night hours to
get in touch with their intuitive knowing.
Try that simple
practice: wait until you're in bed, quiet and relaxed, just
before falling asleep. If there is something that you need or
want, make your request or ask your question of the Divine
within you.
Fall asleep naturally. In the morning, do not jump
up immediaetly. Wait for a few minutes, expectatnly but not
anxiously, to see if some intuitive "knowing" comes to you. Do
not be dsicouraged if it doesn't.
It takes time to develop
intuition. And the answer may come later on in some quiet
moment, when you least epxect it. Answers from the Indwelling
Divine fill us with peace and security.
We know with confidence
how to prcoeed. Or we know with confidnece that we are protected
and guided.
If you're having trouble staying on top of life, try going to
bed eraly and getting 9.5 hours of sleep each night.
Many of the
answers you seek may be no farther away than your own pillow.
