Most scientists think that by resting our bodies, we allow time for essential maintenance work to be done. Any damage that there is can be put right more quickly if energy isn’t being used up doing other things. Injured animals certainly spend more time asleep than usual while their wounds are healing. And quite a few illnesses make us sleepy, so our body can get on with curing us.

Sleep is controlled by certain chemicals. These are built up during the day, eventually reaching levels that make us tired. We can control the effects of these chemicals to some extent. Caffeine helps keep us awake while some medicines make us sleepy.

By using electrodes, scientists are able to study what goes on in people’s heads while they sleep. They have discovered that when we first drop off every thing slows down. The heart beats more slowly and our breathing becomes shallow. After about 90 minutes our eyes start to twitch and we go into what is called REM sleep. REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement, and it’s a sign that we’ve started to dream.

Yoga is a system of training the body and the mind that has been developed by Indian religions, particularly Hinduism. People who perfect the techniques of yoga are called yogis. Through intense physical and mental exercise, they are able to free their minds of worldly thoughts and concentrate upon reaching a state of spiritual union with their god.

It is very difficult to reach this state, so the training is divided into stages, which become gradually more difficult. The first two stages cleanse the body and quieten the mind. The aim of the physical training, the third step, is to bring the body under complete control, using methods such as regulation of breathing and exercise in posture. This is followed by mental training which makes possible undisturbed concentration.

The fifth and sixth stages of yoga aim to gain control of the mind by turning his concentration inwards, a yogi must learn to cease reacting to all outward disturbances. The final stage is supposed to unite the soul with God, the highest possible aim of a Hindu.

In the 20th century, yoga became increasingly popular in the Western world, where hatha yoga, which concentrates on the physical stage, is practiced largely as an aid to relaxation.
