A quick read. None of the life lessons that are said in the book are new, but they're still appreciated. I most admire Morrie's positive and graceful attitude in the face of ALS. He is lucky to have so many loved ones around him when he's passing.
The basics of life are: food, water, air, and sleep. It's eye opening how sleep affects physical, mental, emotional health. Physical: bad sleep is a cause of life mortality (not just one aspect of mortality but life mortality in general), correlated with dementia and Alzheimer's, diabetes, etc., you can die from not sleeping. Mental: causes cognitive impairment similar to alcohol, correlated with mental illnesses such as bipolar, anxiety and depression, schizophrenia etc., memory formation and learning... And sleep helps to regulate emotions and take the sting out of painful and traumatic memories, with interesting and profound implications for PTSD.
I've definitely started sleeping more lol. And I know now that if I am injured or feel horrible, I need to get good sleep.
If you want to live well and live long, make it a priority and a practice to have consistent good sleep.

Such a gentle story for those who feel powerless, small and lonely in the modern world. Reminded me a bit of Madoka.
