Actually, that is called a monophasic sleep cycle, which is only 1 of 5 major sleep cycles that have been used successfully throughout history. The other 4 are considered polyphasic sleep cycles due to the multiple number of naps they require each day. How is this possible? How is this healthy? Well the most important of every sleep cycle is the Stage 4 REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, which has been shown to provide the benefits of sleep to the brain above all other stages of sleep.

What Are the Benefits of Living Your Life Purpose? Before we can enjoy the benefits of our life purpose, we need to find it. How do we find purpose in life? Many of us live, unable to find our purpose in life, for much of our lives. We are born, go to school and cram facts into our heads, marry, go to work, and then rush home from work too tired to do much of anything. We live mediocre lives without purpose, only routine. Now back to the question how do we find purpose in life? Our life purpose shows itself in down to earth ways. Another way our life purpose shows itself as Being in the right place. The above shows two ways all of us can fulfill a purpose in our lives. Now how can you enjoy the benefits of living your life purpose? What is it to live, really live?

How to Be Happy Anytime | zen habits Post written by Leo Babauta. My friend Barron recently asked, “If you could be anywhere right now, doing anything you want, where would you be? And what would you be doing?” And my answer was, “I’m always where I want to be, doing what I want to be doing.” I’ve notice that in the past, like many people, I was always wishing I was doing something different, thinking about what I would do in the future, making plans for my life to come, reading (with jealousy) about cool things other people were doing. It’s a fool’s game. Many of us do this, but if you get into the mindset of thinking about what you *could* be doing, you’ll never be happy doing what you actually *are* doing. Instead, I’ve adopted the mindset that whatever I’m doing right now is perfect. There’s nothing I’m ever doing that isn’t the most incredible thing on Earth. The Now Mindset, In Practice Let’s say you’re washing the dishes. Washing dishes can be as great as anything else, if you decide to see it that way.
