If someone says the main purpose in life is to ensure sound sleep every night, is that rather a lowly aim?

Question

Well ensuring sound sleep on a sustained basis may require quite a lot of doing, physically, socially and spiritually!!

Answer 1

if we can everyone in the world have sound sleep,can we say it a lowly aim?

Answer 2

Many people who acquire a lot of wealth & fame find that they do not get sound sleep any more !
So sound sleep is indicative of a balanced mind, calm and peaceful life etc... despite good material progress.
But sleep , if it becomes a main purpose, and not just an indication of good mental health, it just means that such a person has no motivation to evolve beyond survival as a slightly superior animal, nothing whatsoever to do with being a human !

Answer 3

For a normal person sound sleep , on a continuous basis is utopian.

If that person says that he has sound sleep already then , certainly, he has reached a stage in life where happiness, sorrow, Suffering, relationship, all of them he is able to see it in a very dechached way. That is precisely the thing everyone will want in life.

But, if that person is NOT yet in that state then sound sleep is not his main purpose in life. Sleeping is. But that will elude him. He will seek pills, alcohol or any such help to get that sound sleep. The search for sound sleep will, then , become his main purpose in life

Answer 4

Bramanda is correct about a clear conscience, or total ignorance. There is a third way - sufficient insight, and mind control, to put aside what is appropriate to put aside for the period of sleep, all aggravations, regrets, problems - and allow the mind to drift into the sleep it needs. That's in the Buddhist tradition of "When you're sweeping, know you're sweeping". I find I "day-dream" through satisfying memories and fall asleep - and wake up with maybe dreams that are informative if I don't jump on them too consciously, yielding valuable insights; a fresh mind to deal with problems or see the opportunities they present; and very often a strategy to deal with them, all ready to sketch out on a large pad and work on systematically. Some people can't sleep because they can't put things down; and some because they try to hard.

Answer 5

If one's main purpose in life to do a great job of sleeping, then, yes it's a ridiculously low goal. It's not really even a goal one has to try for. The main purpose in life is to LEARN. I ensure sound sleep through Benedryl.

Answer 7

Have you ever been sleepless for days, months, years? Apparently not or the question would not have arisen. If someone had said that to me, I'd instinctively had heart enough to help them discover what the hell is causing so much sleeplessness. Isn't that what any good friend would do? Pain, for example, can rob someone of their emotional endurance, never mind their physical stamina. It can drive you quite literally mad. I guess I'm a little touchy about the question because I have a friend who never gets a good night's sleep because of a severe back injury and the never-ending pain. But we are finding a way to help him. It's actually getting much better. So thanks for the question. I'm rededicating myself to helping him until it's cured.

Answer 8

While good sleep is important to a healthy life. It shouldn't take all of your focus. I wouldn't call it a lowly aim, but they should be focusing more on what they do in their waking hours. If they balance all aspects of their life they should be able to sleep soundly without effort.

Answer 9

Indeed!!

Sound sleep comes through peace of mind.

peace of mind is delievered through both internal and external experiences. I believe its the case of many that sound sleep does not exist as much as it used to. I believe that our ancestors had great dreams that unlocked keys to an amzing reality that in our times we seek to re-live. A spritual understanding of the workings of yourself and the world is enough to keep anyone awake whom chooses to be complicated by external issues. The best remedy for sound sleep is a busy day!!!

Answer 10

"He who increases knowledge, increases sorrow." Ecclesiastes and many philosophers.
so to obtain sound sleep by yalls def you must have piece of mind and a clear conscience. Sorrow is a weighing emotion, theirfore the only people that could have sound sleep are the innocent and uniformed. It defeats a purpose of life to better your mind body and spirit which would then debunk that sound sleep is any purpose of life.

Answer 11

Sound mind in sound body which ensure sound sleep.

May be considered lowly aim but it is first step of great ladder of achievement.
