The happiest five minutes of the day

... are the "rest period" at the end of each yoga class. After an hour of pilates, the instructor shuts down all the lights and puts on one of those new age, meditation CD's, and I lie down on the mat, with every muscle relaxed. In the first minute or so, my head is still busy with all the thoughts from the day, but soon after I get into the most peaceful stage and sometimes even fall asleep. When I do, it is the sweetest, deepest sleep I experience -- I really wish I could sleep like that at night. I feel incredibly relaxed and refreshed afterwards.
