The art of reclining

"I cannot think unless I am lying down." Do you know the importance of sleep and lying down and the deep philosophy that these actions include, which you consider ordinary? The German writer "Bernd Brunner" explains and analyzes in his book this philosophy of sleep and lying down, narrating the history of sleep and its various traditions throughout human history, as well as the different myths that have spoken about sleep. These questions extend to analyze the impact of these actions on human thought and life, whether lying down which gives a person the opportunity to reflect on what surrounds him, and reconsider existing things, or sleep which renews his energy and motives, and perhaps his view of life, and how these actions can increase our emotional feelings. The bed is not only the place where we lie down and sleep, but we also sleep in it, dream, practice love, contemplate, surrender to a sad mood, imagine, and also suffer on it.
