When one is sick, one is greatly devitalized and enervated from overactivity, excesses, stimulation and emotional excitement. One should close one's eyes and keep them closed, for completely resting every part of one's body. Animals and babies instinctively know that they must close their eyes to feel better. The most common, difficult to manage diseases, are often related to a sleep deficiency. If one is sick or tired, one has a sleep deficiency.
Healing takes place, when one is asleep or when one's eyes are closed.
If one is sick, one has a deficiency of healing, therefore a deficiency of sleep. The body makes the healing of a bone, a priority, as opposed to doing other things that are not quite as important. It does not matter what is or what causes one's health problem, whether it is because of lifestyle abuse or external trauma. That is the most important thing one can do to make oneself well. Vital energy is used up by all the activities of life.
