Sweet Sleep

Sweet sleep, my dear friend Our dreams come true by morning Days become brand new.

The first time a friend said, “sweet sleep,” I thought it was odd. I was accustomed to hearing “good night” or “sweet dreams.” Never sweet sleep. However, the phrase introduced me to an entirely new perspective. Instead of being an onerous chore that gobbled up six to eight hours of my time or a line item on my to-do list that followed, “wash your face, brush your teeth,” — sleep became a welcomed friend.

I enjoy good nights and sweet dreams, but I’ve often wanted to do something more productive, like writing until 2:00 AM. The phrase sweet sleep leaves nothing desired. It invites the innocent, angelic rest of a child cradled in her mother’s arms, the unexpected afternoon nap that quietly fades into the morning, and the magic of lovers falling asleep on the couch intertwined as one.

After awakening from a night of sweet sleep, anything seems possible, including taking photos of the sunset and finishing writing projects before 2:00 AM. Sweet sleep is refreshing and complete.
