Powerful Sleep – Secrets of the Inner Sleep Clock

Chapter 1: Warming up to the concept of Time. “Now
go on and enjoy yourself, dance to your heart’s
content and win the Prince’s heart. But remember,
you have to be back before the clock strikes twelve
at midnight.” We all are familiar with the words
of the Fairy God Mother in the evergreen fairy tale
‘Cinderella’. It’s these words that
probably made us aware-for the first time in our lives-of
the value of time. We all sympathized with Cinderella
when all her splendid gown and other finery turned to
rags at the stroke of midnight. Our first acquaintance
with the villainous Time! But then, is time such a villain,
who should always be painted in black? We have heard

time cannot heal.” Here of course we get the image
of a wizened old woman who comes hobbling up to us with
a pitcher full of balm and gentle fingers that soothe
away all our pains and sorrows. But that’s enough!
This book was not written to eulogize time. There is
no need of the romance of Cinderella or the soothing
finger of an old lady when we are talking about time.

faces of watches or clocks. I was referring to the many
meanings that time has. Oh yes it does! You thought
that time meant the same to everyone. Well think again;
or maybe you could try to explain the logic behind the
following cases. Picture a farmer who plants a sapling
of a tree that would probably take ten to twelve years
to reach the stage when it would start to bear fruit,
by then the farmer would in likelihood be under the
soil himself. Picture a jailbird in bird counting on
the bars of his cell waiting for the seconds, minutes,
and hours, days, weeks, months and years to go by before
he can be free again. Now picture a young couple madly
in love with each other cherishing the
