Our soul is energy. The soul does not need food, nor does it need sleep. But the body and the brain need sleep.
Sleep is one of the sweetest conditions in the human body. Sleep protects and helps the body to regenerate. Through sleep, the soul sends to the mind all the experiences and signals to which a person should pay attention.
When a person falls asleep, the body relaxes, and all available resources are used to restore and cleanse the body. That is why during illness and other unfavorable circumstances, a person is so much in a state of sleep.
The soul never leaves the body during sleep. She's with her body all the time. If the soul left the body, then it would be very difficult for it to return back, because the state of the soul outside the body is so wonderful that not all souls are able to return. Therefore, souls leave the body once, once and for all - through death. In all other cases, the soul and body are one, they are one whole.
Sleep is the time for the dialogue of the soul. At this moment, all experiences, fears are spoken out so that the mind remembers them, learns the lessons, and draws attention. During sleep, the soul merges with the memory of the Universe, it sees the past, sees the future, sees the present. The EGO does not bother her - it sleeps, the environment does not bother her - it sleeps. She sees the body in which she came to learn her lessons with it and move on.
But the soul does not always share experiences, it shares joy, happiness, and love. She shows the mind dreams, pleasant memories.
The time will come when the body will need less and less time to sleep. When many lessons have been learned, and the body will arrive in purity, and the energy generated by the soul will become so much that it will be more than enough for many hours of wakefulness and endless love for everything around.
