many of the brought by and others that there's a virtue and a value to getting asleep to taking a nap to closing one's eyes not only the ordinary Friday night sleep but sleeping a little bit extra the

time they were sitting and talking so returned to them and he said T sleep on chabas is good better than sitting around and shmooing better than shoot sitting around and shooting the breeze go to sleep close your eyes get a nap get energized so one B said why read it sha Babas tan don't say the acronym shabas stands for shaan say the acronym stands foran maybe shooing maybe having a conversation on shab tan is what's pleasurable is what's praiseworthy so on that said no ST in the it says in the the heart of the wise one is on the right side the heart of the fool is on the left so he said puts the on the right side of the shin not so you see who's a wise person the one who puts the dot on the right side of the shin shabas not on the left side the sin more praiseworthy more important to get a good sleep a good Dremel a good nap on chabas than to sit and endlessly Schoo and talk it's fascinating we'll get into why why is sh why sh where does it come from that we're praising that we're valuing that we're seeing the virtue of sleep it's laziness procrastination it's a waste of time shouldn't you Embrace every moment every opportunity how is shabas fully experienced through sleep should experience it while awake so I want to just tell you before we get into some of the maros we'll start with the mar then I'll tell you how the science has just now caught up but not only do we sing in the the in the name of the T the the code of Jewish law in chapter 29 if you ordinarily take a nap maintain that custom maintain that practice take a nap for such a person it's an on shabas is all about pleasure Y is about has a clear definition shabas is relative shabas is subjective shabas is about tan is about pleasure how do you get pleasure if you take a nap if sleep is part of your pleasure on shabas then take a nap it's known the quotes from rather quotes from The Who says that that sleep on chabas is good for the righteous no bad no evil could overcome the you gain it's good to take a nap after you eat on and that was the prac of the AR the great calist the great AR who embraced every moment lived it to its fullest left this world way too young he didn't dismiss sleep on chabas he didn't stay awake for every moment after the meal he took a short nap because a nap sleeping one's eyes on chabas has a tremendous value has a tremendous virtue and in the coming weeks we'll investigate we'll see several sources about what they are there a beautiful IM corresponds with our two NAS that all week long we have oneish shabas we have a all week long we only have to sleep once at night shabas we to sleep all end the day but what's the real value of sleep shabas we know is shabas is about creation so how do we recreate ourselves what renews what re-energizes what revitalizes a person when you sleep proper sleep getting enough sleep one wakes up and they're alive again in fact kazal tell us that sleep is a portion of death when we sleep we close our eyes we surrender our soul to Hashem when we're sleep we're not conscious we're not awake we're not in control when we sleep we surrender our free will to Hashem sleep is a taste a minor microcosm experience of death but it means that when we wake up from that sleep if sleep is a is a portion of death then waking up to sleep is becoming alive again it's rebirth it's renewal it's Recreation so shabas is we're recreating we're re-energizing we're revitalizing we're becoming alive we're redefining ourselves so part of the recreation of chabas the renewal of chabas part of the Vigor the energy the enthusiasm of chabas is to sleep on chabas a person is expressing tremendous amuna how do you know when you go to sleep you're going to wake up how do you know there are people with anxiety they can't fall asleep because they're afraid what if I go to sleep and I won't wake up going to sleep falling asleep a willingness to surrender to sleep is an affirmation of Amun that hem is in charge hm is control hasem here is my soul please restore it give it back to my body bring me back alive please restore me make me wake up but it's a tremendous expression of Amun of faith in Hashem and Sham is the day of amuna we show that faith we show that amuna we surrender to Hashem so that's true all week long but all week long at night we collapse exhaustion we're tired we're spent we have no choice we have to sleep shabas all week long we're running we're going we're doing who has time for a nap shabas the suda after the meal shabas day get into bed lie on the couch sit in the recliner close one's eyes fall asleep to Hashem take my soul I want to wake up I want to renew I want to revitalize I want to rejuvenate I want to be born again I want to recreate I want to start fresh fresh energized and exciting turns out science is only catching up to what the and what the the name of the tour and what we've known forever the value of sleep on shabas shabas sh shabas science is only catching up listen to this listen to this just came out last week or a couple weeks ago we know that people build up sleep debt during during the week that means supposed to get a minimum seven hours six hours the sign shows if you get less than six hours of sleep at night you're 30% higher risk of dementia and neurological challenge later in life sleep debt is the debt that you create when you don't get enough sleep you slept four hours or five hours or five and a half hours the differential between what you got and what you're supposed to get is the Sleep debt can you make up for that debt can you pay off that debt in a new analysis by the European Society of Cardiology they found that people who got sleep on the weekend were 19% 20% less likely to develop heart disease compared with a group who slept the fewest extra hours on the weekend the study show it turns out you should get the most sleep get the sleep that you need during the week but if you don't you
