A Good Sleep for a Good Mood

Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy and Compassion, loved to sleep. Yet sometimes, when bedtime arrived, she wanted to stay awake just a little longer to enjoy the day. But studies on sleep by Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, showed that getting proper rest each day is one of the key ingredients for maintaining a good mood.

And since Gurumin also loved being in a good mood, creating a comfortable sleep environment became a priority.

In winter, she enjoyed sleeping in cozy, fluffy sheets that warmed her on colder nights and let her drift into dreams of the young Espers she would teach the next day, and the many friends she hoped to meet.

And when morning arrived with bright sunlight and birds singing, she awoke and joined in their song, her gentle whistle carrying happiness to all who wished to hear it.
