Getting to bed late and waking up early really take a toll on me. Sometimes, by afternoon I would find it difficult to overcome the sleepiness that blanket me. Sitting behind my desk, nodding my head and trying hard to keep my eyelids open. I just want to find a place to lie down. I need not a comfortable bed to rest my body. I just need a place to rest my head.
Recently, I found a way to solve this problem, by napping during lunch break. Immediately after satisfying my hungry stomach, with a pillow for my sleepy head and a cardigan to weather the chill, my phone alarm set to 1.30 pm, I would catnap for half hour.
I woke up feeling energized like the Duracell Bunny. With a better frame of mind, my concentration was enhanced, accomplishing more work and not as grouchy as a bear.
Years back, whilst fighting sleep, I accidentally pressed a key, the monitor screen turned black. I was required to re-install the operating system and the software applications. The hard drive was completely erased, all data files were lost. Till today I am still mystified, which key did I press?
I discovered whenever I stayed up late into the night, my heart rates increased, I could hear my heart pounding loudly. At certain times when it missed a beat, I could feel it dropped a tiny fraction, then resumed its galloping. My ears began to ring, I felt dizzy, my head felt heavy. Fatigue suddenly set in. Totally exhausted, I had to head for bed.

I often wonder if I continue to stay up, will I collapse. Can my heart handle the stress I am punishing it. Will this eventually evolve into a cardiac arrest? This is really frightening.
Perhaps, the phrase “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” is absolutely true.
