Sleep is for the weak? Really? How many hours of sleep do you get every day? Do you get enough sleep? Let me tell you a quick story. I had this mantra I used when I was in college “sleep is for the weak.” I’d sleep for little as 2 hours especially during examination weeks. Likewise, I do tell my fellow course mates that opt to sleep that they are weak. On a fateful day, during an examination, I broke down. I didn’t sleep for 38 hours prior to the examination as i was busy cramming and studying building regulations and codes. When I go to the exam hall and was handed the question, I couldn’t write much. I knew the answers, but just couldn’t put them down. If not for my friends that kept me awake during the examination hall by constantly tapping me, I would have failed that course. I vowed that day to always get at least 3 hours sleep during the night whenever i have exams to write. When I got to the university after finishing college, I changed my mantra to “I can’t come and kill myself, let me sleep” I still only get about an average of 4-5 hours sleep every night nowadays, but it is sufficient to carry me during the day. Sleep isn’t for the weak. Sleep when your body tells you too although I feel like a hypocrite saying this. Haha. I wish you all a lovely Last sunday in November.

I can really relate to this bro. Goodmorning to you! I mean goodmorning from here hehe. It's morning and I'm on my early monitoring duty! See you later
This also happen to my friend, will send him the link of this post. Sleep is necessary because no one can cheat nature
Oh no! I won't be able to manage and survived the day with just 2 hours of sleep. Literally I will see the world rotating in my eyes. Haha.
I have irregular sleep pattern.. Some days i slept early but i woke up in betweens.. Other times i sleep late..more or less i have 4-5 sleep.. As we grow older we sleep lesser I guess it should be" sleep when you are weak"😉
Sleep is so misinterpreted I means it's the time we recharge and rebuild our cells it's not being lazy it's building up immune system and it's mending up our broken cells 😂🤣 sleeping is good as long as you balance the work out with it
If sleep is for the weak ,then I'm the King of the week men. I love my (i can't say beauty) sleep😂
Atleast you learned your lesson. Don't over used your body and sleep is very important to all of us😊
Very nice.. Sleep is for the healthy. Those experiencing illness have a hard time to sleep. When I got infected by COVID I had a hard time sleeping that the doctor prescribed some sleep inducer vitamin. I am the type who has no sleeping issues because I easily fall asleep after a few seconds of closings my eyes My staff who has some medical issues has a hard time getting a good sleep.
I clearly remember that sentence. And how you usually say it in G126. But how do you cope with 4-5 hours sleep everyday.
I'm starting to get emotional for the November fast passes by
Our body needs an enough time to sleep. No matter how hard we wanted to do things on our own. 2 hours of sleep is not enough. Eventually our body will collapsed if it will continue for a long time. Its okay to cram and to things late, but if you feel like sleeping even if you dont finiah what youre doing. Just sleep.
