First of all I don't have a proper sleep. Most of the people might think
that's a cliché. But I don't have a sleep like you. You might sleep alike the
normal breed of people but you don't sleep like me. So, I am going to end this
year's blogging by bragging about what I am proud of, i.e. "my
sleep".
How do normal people sleep?
I have always been jealous of people who have a proper sleep routine. I don't even have a regular alarm on my mobile phone and how could you people sleep in a declared time. Did the doctors do any mistakes while pulling me out of my mom? Or Have I missed any sleeping tips from my parents? How do you guys get to close your eyes as soon as your body hits the bed? These questions always haunted me in my childhood.
So, what actually happens with normal people during their sleep? You are a normal person, you yawn, and you think it's time for bed. You see your declared time for sleep, you got to bed, fall down and boom, you are now in your dreams. It's so easy like that. [Source: Internet] Studies have shown that there are several reasons favoring the perfect timely sleep like, nutrition, light and darkness, brain activity, habit and physical and environmental factors. Proper nutrition included avoiding caffeine, carbohydrate, fluids and drugs (if possible) before bed and eating protein rich snacks hours before going to bed and some fruits too. Sleep was possible in complete darkness and wearing eye mask would even facilitate it, meaning that no mobile interaction from hours before going to bed. Brain activity needs to be zero, your brain needs to be work free before going to sleep. The physical factors included taking a hot shower, wearing socks and maintaining a temperature for the room before sleep. Yes, you need to master in all above things to sleep well. These things itself looked so difficult and only professional and trained people performed it, don’t try this at home. There was no way I was going to do anything about it for my sleep.
How do I sleep?
So I as already have claimed that I sleep unusual than you and those of normal people. Actually I am a mixture of both the normal ones and the abnormal ones. Did I brag about myself too much so that you were dragged to read how this guy really sleeps? As I have dragged you till here, why don't you complete the whole article to have a reason to curse me?
December 31st has begun and I still have no signs of going into my dream. I actually tried to sleep before writing this post. I had set my sleep application on for the day. Lights were off and darkness surrounded me in my bed. I was listening to Silk Waves on my “Calm” application. The music was about half an hour long and usually I don't remember turning them off in any of my previous sleeps. It had been a while since I had started using the mobile application to stimulate my sleep. I tried many things to have an early sleep and like every time, today it was okay but the very next day I was back to my insomniac routine. 5th minutes passed, I could not stop my mind to think about random shits, I changed my sleeping position keeping my eyes closed. 10th minute passed, I didn't see any hope in me about having a sleep tonight. I held my eyelids and kept my eyes closed. I took a heavy breathe, it was a bit relaxing one. The music was so soothing, I was flowing into it. It was the 20th minute when I figured out I could not just try sleeping anymore.
I always had problem regarding my sleep. From my childhood, I was always the last one to sleep even in the family. However my mother said, I used to sleep well when I was in her hands. Might be the mother's touch but as I grew up there was no mother's touch every time I closed my eyes. It was hard for me to sleep at once and the never ending thoughts that arose in my mind kept me busy and denied every bit of sleep. Problem arose in high school when my parents found out the lights in my room were still on till 4 a.m. - 5 a.m. when it was the time they generally wake up. I used to fool them by telling that I forgot to switch off the lights and slept without noticing the lights. I could lie them every single time they came to complain about my habit but I could not run away from the fact that I was literally an insomniac. When I researched about irregular sleeps and found out that people like me are insomniac, I was happy because the term "insomniac" was cool. I felt like, "Hey I am an insomniac, what are you?" Sleeps were even hard to find when there was assignment or exam on the line. I don't know either these things were shaping me up for irregular sleep or I was like that from the beginning.
Now sometimes, I do sleep early at 10 p.m. I don’t know what triggers me to sleep that early but normally these sleep have the quota till tomorrow’s 10 a.m. I don’t know what happens in between these many hours and what I feel at 10 a.m. is deprived of sleep. I don’t know how my body actually allocates the sleep for me.
Nothing worked for me, neither eating healthy food nor exercising nor light and nor brain activity. It was hard for me to implement all of those things on a daily routine in my life. So I kept taming my irregular sleep until I ended up late night blogging. Before I started writing, I used to watch movies and series till morning. I still remember completing the trilogy of “Lord of the ring” at a single shot without a pause. Assignments were there to be done at late nights and so were the last minute readings for the exams. It was also amazing to watch every UEFA Champions League game of FC Barcelona late night. Late night chat with loved one never let me sleep before 2 a.m. and the breakup even extended the daily insomniac routine. Everything was perfectly shaping me up for a “Do not sleep campaign”.
I know now it has become a habit in my life, a very dangerous habit that is so hard to replace with a good early sleep. It won’t be bad to accept that good sleeping habit is much needed for teenagers like me. In a regular 5-6 hours of sleep required, I sleep for 2-3 hours and I don’t know how am I going to compensate for those deprived sleep. I am still working hard to get on track regarding sleep but it is always going to be difficult. Don’t let the situation get worse so that it overtakes the control of our body. Sleep well!!!!
