Sleep Less or Sleepless ?

Hey friends! Just got back from unreasonably heavy lunch and trying to beat my post-lunch sleepy thoughts. I realized the ordeals of sleep and thought, will post few lines on some random thoughts, so that I can deviate from this sleep infested mindset. Might sound very insensible idea of overcoming this sleepy status, but it is truly a herculean  task , at least  for the coming 2 hours at least.  

In this process of overcoming my sleep orientation, I have been trying recall some random thoughts and ideas, precisely on the best times of fun I had in my life. Now look at the irony, the pleasant thoughts and ideas give a person a soothing and relaxing time (both physical and psychological) which is more or less a gate pass for a sound sleep.

I began questioning myself, what was I doing in situations like these before beginning my professional stint and here goes my response without wasting a nanosecond. Simple, bunk my sessions and hit the sack.

I am fortunate to cherish few good sleep sagas (Yes, I really do cherish few long duration sleeps) and I am also sad on the flip side. Now, my dear readers don’t further poke me on probing for the reason. It’s simple, I am no more a student man, and I am a goddamn professional.  

Not that I hate my profession or my company, but come to think of it, one definitely will not have that independence of doing anything and everything. There are bunch of check posts (Managers, Team Leads, Deadlines, Clients, Above all the limited leaves) one has to cut through to get a leave.

And trust me guys, the idea of bunking office to sleep sounds so very idiotic in the office environs, which used to be an easy and casual decision in college. I guess we have become more computerized (just like a laptop or desktop), that we wake up (for office), we freshnup (for office), we drive past the troublesome bottlenecks (the prime business locations), squeeze our mind with myriad issues and ideas and come back home for a sound sleep.

Interestingly, I realized that after reaching home, albeit I plan for a sound sleep, I don’t get that desired sleep rather I am being put into a sleep mode to see the next morning. I understood a machine put in sleep mode is actually not sleeping; it has to awake in the next immediate time whenever the user clicks on it. Likewise, we are not sleeping; we are being given a break to see the new morning with same problems and issues.
