Energy (or lack thereof)

I really feel that the amount of sleep you get affects how you see the world day to day. Without having enough energy, we miss out on the details of life because all of our energy seems to be more narrowly focused (get the job done and get to bed, that is all our bodies are saying).

That is why sleep is so important to me, becuase I know how wonderful it is to enjoy the simple things in life, listen to bird chirping and stop to smell the flowers. Also with energy, you are able to formulate more creative ideas because your mind wants to think outside of the box and not just "get things done."

College definitely makes you gain an appreciation for sleep. I will never take sleep for granted again.
