..because you don't have to deal with people and conflicts and expectations and disappointments when you are asleep. There's no hurt, no stress, no discomfort and no anger. It's one of the most peaceful ways to be with yourself.
A temporary mini-death, sleep is paradoxically the easiest way to add life to your years. The entire process - putting your body in a dormant state, organs and tissues repairing themselves, our mind reliving through fantastic dreams our immediate and distant past and doing this every few hours routinely - is like a miracle. For me, the way our brain filters out most of the surrounding noise to let itself sleep is amazing. How incredible that we can turn off listening (or at least not be bothered by what we hear) even though our ears are open.
Those who cannot sleep peacefully are truly unfortunate.
