Sleep



Getting up in the morning, for work or off day, can be both refreshing and exhausting. How do older people wake up early while us young ones don't even care to consider waking up early as a daily routine? Sleep is such an interesting phase of everyday life. The body moves around all day, thinks, acts, gets exhausted while doing so and usually at nights the lights are turned off and the train to either dreamland or nightmares is caught.

Have you ever woken up from sleep and felt tired? I do many times and people tell me something which I don't agree with. They tell me that I sleep more than I should. I know there are certain amount of hours for different age groups to sleep, I've heard of the minimum hours of sleep one should get but never heard of maximum. My own age's minimum hours is between 7 and 9, I think I sometimes get more and sometimes less. On weekends its definitely more! maybe around 12 hours. I must be one of the few people who remember their dreams, well at least they are remembered for a longer while in order to have the time to note them down.

Getting back to the waking up exhausted topic, in my opinion it has something to do with what type of activities one goes through in dreamland while asleep. My thoughts are bizarre right? I'm not arguing about it but that's my opinion. You're free to leave a comment about it!

It is good to dissolve in the little fantasy world which exists only in one's imagination and comes to life when the lights are put out and consciousness is given up for a few hours. It is an escape from the daily life: one of the escapes from the problems of the real world! Sleep is such a sexy and attractive stage of everyday being which no one can escape. It also extends and makes one's imagination get to work in any kind of twisted way it wants. The uncontrollable imagination! the feature which comes built-in with homo sapiens!
