Sleep is like tidying up your room. You can go to sleep in an untidy room, and if you tidy up the next day with more effort, it will be tidy again, but once all toys and pens are in the drawer and cloth are in the wardrobe and the bed is made, you can’t tidy up the room more so you won’t have to do any tidying the next day.
