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.
