I would like to talk about high levels of consciousness or awareness impact the human body and mind with sleepiness.
Hi Sunshine 2, I am not sure what your question is, but I will hazard a guess that it’s about the relationship between mindfulness and sleepinesss. Perhaps you are asking how can someone who is very tuned in to the present become sleepy.
Maybe an analogy would be hunger. If you do not eat, you will eventually get hungry, and will get hungrier as time passes. Just as your body tells you it needs food, it will tell you it needs sleep.
One difference is that the body cannot supply food to itself. You have to put food into it. On the other hand, sleep comes naturally. If you go without sleep long enough, you will get sleepy. Not just tired (there is a difference), but sleepy. And you will fall asleep. What keeps us from falling asleep and staying asleep long enough is that our minds wander in and get in the way. Being aware of this phenomenon is a big part of mindfulness meditation.

As for how this relates to sleep and our behavior, suggest you check out Martin’s videos and also his comments in this forum.
