I doubt Chowhury's assertion that sleep had anything to do with the country's financial dilemma. Rather, i would assert that the opposite may be true: The people who have planned the financial collapse through fractional reserve banking (and encouraging all other banks to follow suit) and the production of the fiat money system we now operate under have certainly slept on the idea a great deal. It's why they have been so successful. Get a copy of The Money Masters. Better yet, a copy of The Creature From Jekyll Island.

As a Painter/Photographer I was often late for work because I was either painting, or I would discover subjects to photograph, and I never made the connection. I do know that sleep recharges us both physically, and mentally, but I never gave a thought about the creative.

Sleep is truly an ally; I have been able to figure out in my sleep complicated answers to problems I otherwise wouldn't figure out while awake.

Part of the mechanism is that the brain makes more alpha and theta waves while you sleep. High-strung people's brains produce primarily beta waves (higher frequency.) I have heard a story about how Thomas Edison would relax in a chair while holding a steel ball in each hand. On the floor below the balls he would place metal pie tins. Just as he would nod out (the point at which the brain is making more of these slower brainwaves) the balls would drop and wake him up, and this is how he came up with new ideas. He realized that slowing the brainwaves down was the secret to creative thinking and insight.

Sleeping, one of the main pillars of good health, is the process where we "recharge our batteries".....

It is how we were designed to operate. We possess most of the necessities within, to keep us safe and healthy....Factor in the other pillars of good healthy and you're well on your way to optimum health......Fascinating, the human body .....
