..Looking few years back ...in my own kingdom in India,I always over slept..and nobody even dare to wake me up... the maid had strict orders.."queen is sleeping"..then I slept after lunch also...."my beauty sleep".... Mom always pissed of with my sleep obsessions Said"You have come to this world only to sleep"I was undisputed "Sleeping Beauty"both of my elder brothers made fun of me...saying" people who like to sleep ..miss all the good things in life"I always refuted back saying"I Don't Care"
Some fond memories....about my obsession of sleep...when I..just passed out of university...
I finished my masters and came back from University..after two years I was at home ..I was so relieved and happy to catch my sleep...I slept most of the time...afternoon siesta was the best part....nobody disturbed me even ..as if it was ..mandatory...so ,totally relaxed ..retired life...no tensions now...I thought ..
...I saw a vacancy in a paper one day....for a post of lecturer ... in one of the reputed Colleges...I applied and went for interview....it was boys college..the principal was impressed ..told me to join as soon as possible...not sure ..whether I want to work...coz I was having some good time at home...I joined for some extra money...and few hours would give me good break ....
Now that I was so much into habit of sleeping in afternoon I couldn't control my sleep......we had finals for undergrads in our college those days..I was on supervision duty...from two pm to five pm...(those were my peak hours of sleeping )...
I was sitting on chair...and felt I would sleep..so I got up and started walking in the rows ...checking all the students....it was in jus a blink of moment I fell on one of the desks..(It was the uncontrollable sleep)I heard some student saying(mam digg paye)"mam fell down"... the professors came running ..towards me....I got up ..saying sorry !!I made an excuse..try not to disturb the students...
I was sitting on the chair after that ..all Senior professors advising me"Mam you take care of your health ,and see a doctor as soon as possible " you are not well and we don't want to burden you with loads of work at this age...I said"Sure" smiling at everyone but knew very well what was wrong with me!!
this was the most embarrassing part of my life when I fell asleep while walking.....after that I decided not to sleep after lunch..NEVER...in my life...and gave up this habit!!
....Sleep is very important ,but pattern of sleep also makes a difference if ..one sleeps at same time or duration its very difficult to get out of that habit.....since the body demands sleep at that time...I learnt it in a hard way...
I sleep at least seven to eight hours at night ..which is significantly a good sleep ...but working and stress sometimes makes it harder which I guess takes a form of Fatigue and then sleep!!
otherwise the results can be Fatal!!
