Sleep Well?

I sleep really well.  The 24/7 of the Army and leading 7-14 man teams that protected and transported nuclear weapons all over the world taught me how to sleep standing, sitting in noisy Huey or Chinook copters, and under war fatigue conditions.  In graduate school I was the story teller for my young family and would fall asleep with my kids, get up at 1am to study, and by 5am be at the hospital working as an emergency room tech. Over the years I’ve learned that my daily meditation practices step me away from work, cancer, and myself are a perfect complement to my sleep patterns and together give my brain time to reorganize, synthesize, and energize my life.  Do your sleep and daily prayer / meditation practices energizing your life – why not?
