    The document discusses questions about sleep and its effects on the body. It explains that sleep allows the body and brain to rest and recover from fatigue, making one feel alert and active after waking. When sleeping deeply, muscles relax further and blood pressure and temperature decrease. Upon waking, these return to normal levels along with heartbeat and breathing. Dreams may reflect real possibilities or problems, and some believe they can provide insight, though they do not predict the future. Sleep provides overall physical and mental benefits through relaxation.

    that we could not think and put pressure on our mind. During our sleep we are not in the
    position to think or act consciously. When we wake up after a sound sleep, our
    temperature and blood pressure rise to normal. Our heartbeat and breathing also become
    normal and there is no botheration in our mind and we are fully awake and have forgotten
    most of the dreams. Such are the blessings of sleep.
