Sleep !!! It’s such a sensual pleasure to fall into a restful and safe sleep. Thanks for your writing on this m, Omar.

I’m remembering falling into a deep cycle of if restful luscious sleep when I was a guest in a beautiful home in New Mexico. So silent. Nothing digital therefore no electromagnetic pollution. The restful sleeping continued for days. Like my being was savoring a lost nutrient.

That was years ago and still it sings in my heart.

My sleep hygiene today is truly compromised. I do wear a sleep mask for the black out quality of light in my apartment. However. I want to now experiment with stopping digital stimulation 2 hours before sleep. That’s tricky. But I’m setting my sites for it! And falling into sleep at a regular repeatable time.

Your article encourages me!

very enjoyable to watch you chronicle your own life in this fascinating way.

i don't believe in shopping amazon - and have begun an article about that - but aside from your ccp curtains, i LOVE your life change and farm stories.
