  Sleep is a little bit of death when our powers retreat

  For humans, this normally occurs every night. We are awake and sleep, alternating each day.

  Tehillim says 1,000 years is like a  day for Hashem. 5781 plots out to late Friday afternoon, late enough to bring in Shabbos (Moshiach, the ultimate Geula) early and not have it occur,  regardless of  our cumulative and collective conduct, by the year 6,000.

  Can it be said that our daily cycle of being awake and sleeping can be translated to Hashem's cycle of being awake and  sleeping corresponding to times of golus and geula when the Botei Migdash stood? 

  If so, this current night of sleep has lasted 2,000 years after a mere few hundred years (twice)  of being awake! Perhaps the state of cosmic wakefulness also existed at Sinai, in the midbar, etc. 

  If so, we're all currently part of  His sleep cycle, part of His dream, (tehillim says "we've all been dreamers) and awaiting the cosmic alarm clock to wake up, stop the dream and live fully with all potential being manifest like that of a person who has woken up. 

  We await the cosmic "Modeh Ani"!

  While awake the neshoma's power (electricity) is manifest

  In the various differentiated limbs. 

  Could it be said, similarly, that before creation (somehow including the  creation of  time) Hashem's "neshama", His "electricity", His potential powers was "asleep" and He "woke up", activated His potential and extended His powers, "asleep" before that, with His faculties (sefiros) created creation where each aspect of creation can be compared to our various limbs?

  I.e. the neshoma's entering into a body and vivifying it, animating it and all its various differentiated limbs can be compared, on the cosmic level, to Hashem's "neshoma", His essence, vivifying and animating all of creation.

  Our little planet, yidden, nature etc., are then various limbs animated by Hashem's "neshoma" "waking up" and vivifying?

  Golus is like sleep and our capabilities are restricted

  Therefore all human accomplishments, especially all Jewish accomplishments and again especially all ruchnious accomplishments like all chidushei Torah throughout history is a product of the restricted abilities we have during golus.

  It would follow that accomplishments when the Botei Migdash stood should be infinitely higher than those during golus.  Do we see this superiority of chazal when the yidden were not in  golus?

  The limbs of a body should follow the lead of the head

  Yes, that's true in a healthy body.  But sometimes there is physical or mental illness, misalignment. 

  An epileptic or persin with other physical illnesses will hurt themselves when the limbs do not follow the lead of the head. 

  Similarly, a person with mental illness can cut themselves, harm themselves (e.g. addiction or other self harms) even to the point of suicide.
