Today I'll be talking about the famous topic that has been published in the newspaper these few days - SLEEPING. It appeared in The STAR and NST on the very same day (July 8th) and then NST again (July 10th) discussed about it. So, you must be wondering what is the purpose of me writing about it when it everyone knows what is SLEEP. Well, of course I know what is it, however I got pretty pissed because after my mom has read all these reports, she is forcing me to sleep early (Well, for everyone that knows me, I usually goes to bed around 3-4 in the morning although it is on schooling days - And no for those who think I have insomnia.)
So, what does sleep do for us? According to the report, sleep deprivation will affect your health, performance and safety (They are even considering that 11pm is rather late where the student has 6 1/2 hours of sleep). Although I hate to admit it, after few days of sleeping early (around 1am), I have been rather active and unlike my previous state - I fall asleep in the daytime when I’m just downright exhausted then the quiet of nighttime and lack of sunlight just make me feel more vibrant and alive.
In the end, is really sleep that important and should I go to bed earlier than I have been??
On a different note but related, it is reported that sleeping in class in ACCEPTED in Japan. The lecturers said that they teach those who are awake and this somnolence is perfectly normal and tolerated. This seems to be a coping strategy for those whose attendance at colleges or universities is compulsory but active participation is not required. WTF?!? How come the lecturers in Malaysia don't follow that style of teaching? I mean there must be times that you barely keep your eyes open in some lectures that are plain boring or you had a very tiring night on the previous day but you are so afraid of the lecturer might call your name out of a sudden which makes every head in the class turn to YOU!!! Isn't that kind of embarrassing? I mean would you try to pretend you are listening to the lectures in front or would you rather be having your nap PEACEFULLY??
Well, I'm not really sure it's related. It just to illustrate that Calvin was daydreaming and was suddenly awaken by the teacher.
