SnooZZZ..

Ookay, here I am, back to the b'sphere after a nice long period of exams and deadlines. Back to the 'high life' for me. Not much of work pressure now, and waking up is getting so hard because I have been infected by the 'Snooze-flu' (Its more of a mind game than a disease :)). So often here's how a typical day starts for me :

8:50 am : Alarm 1 rings

"Whats that irritating sound? Oh, alarm 1 ofcourse. Purposely selected as the most annoying piece of 'music' among the available list of cacophonies in my cellphone... (Quickly switching off alarm 1) .. The limits of self-torture on myself I have to endure to wake up myself sometimeszzzz.."..

9.20 am : Alarm 2 starts blaring away

"Heey.. its barely 5 minutes since I stopped that last one.. (Take a look at watch) ... Ok maybe more than 5 mins, but too little anyway.. (Eyes barely open, hands working dextrously to disable A3) Anyway, my roomie Ravi is sleeping too, I think I should wait to see if the next alarm ringszzzz..."..

9.30 am : Alarm 3 shouts into my ears

"Ooh Gaawd.. Cant a man sleep in peace.. 5 more minutes.. Just 5 more minutes.. I think I'll sleep for 5 more minutesszzzz"..

(1.5 hours later)
|

11.00 am : Ravi shouting the time into my ears (along with a most unparliamentary choice of words that never fails to wake me up)

"What the $%@ is that !@#$ shouting?.. 11 ? What 11 ? (One eye opens to steal a gaze at the clock)

OH MY !@#s.. When did a 5 minutes nap turn into 1.5 hours ! Meeting deadline missed, I am soo screwed.. "



And there starts off my day :)..

I have given up on alarms. I now wake up when my body decides to. It is a risk with classes, but so far, it has paid off.

@krik krak
the first alarm is simply for me to get up and switch off and go back to sleep again.. simply to enjoy that heavenly joy of going back to sleep in the morning..

Hari said...

So you were doing this for the past month, I guess! :P

Happens with everybody!! :D Even me. So I just stopped putting alarms. Trying to let my biological clock do the waking up! ;)

Abhi said...

How many posts u wanna dedicate to your sleeping habits? :)

But as Hari said the bio clock works perfect. My body gets up automatically @ 6 AM no matter how drunk i am or how late i slept. :)
