Sleeplessness

One of my qualities, which I admire myself, is my ability to sleep. Thanks to the 4 year stay here, I have turned into a hardcore night person, going to bed never before 1 AM, and during weekends, it can be anytime from 2 to 4 in the morning. But when I switch off the lights and place my head on the pillow, I fall asleep instantly, and wake up after a good 8-10 hours of tight sleep. I can sleep like a log, undaunted by every possible disturbances, and on numerous occasions, when I wake up, I see quite a number of missed calls in my cellphone.

But recently, there has been a dent in my long-lasting reputation. The night before yesterday, I went to sleep around 1:30 in the morning, but had my eyes wide open till 5. I tried all possible methods to make myself sleep during that interval, but all were in vain. When you seriously try to sleep, but end up tossing and turning over the bed instead, it becomes very frustrating and sometimes, agonizing as well. However, I somehow managed to sleep after 5 AM, and slept for quite a number of hours.

I ignored this matter as an exception, which is always nice. But today again, it is the same scenario. Trying to sleep from 2 AM, I could not bear the burden of looking at the dark room, and hence decided to write this blog while munching over puffed rice and chanachur, the clock reads 4 AM.

If exception starts to happen frequently, then it becomes a rule, and as far as this issue is concerned, I have no intention to make it a rule. The ultimate result, however, is yet unknown, and let me leave it upon the upcoming days.
