Questioning the crucial role that sleep plays in our emotional well-being, Yulia has reminded me of a well-known quote by a legendary film character. This quote might explain why it is so important for managing difficult situations to stay calm and clearheaded, preferably after a good night’s sleep. In the so, so famous, epic film, Gone With The Wind, Scarlett O’hara, the headstrong, wilful daughter of a owner of a plantation in the times of the American Civil War, has a habit of postponing difficult decisions, especially when she feels like she can’t cope with them due to stress or mental exhaustion. And so, she used to say to herself: “I can’t think about that right now. If I do, I’ll go crazy. I’ll think about it tomorrow.” Although here she doesn’t say explicitly that she needs to have a rest, it’s clear that she is thinking precisely about waving aside the difficulties for a while, to go to bed and sleep tight. And tomorrow she will mull over everything again in a refreshed mood.
