My sound sleep
So basically, I have been a person who is strictly programmed to sleep on time by my parents. My parents never allowed me to wake up till late nights because even they were programmed for the same. Talking about my mother, she has some serious complication of pitta, so she has to sleep on time but my father, he just believes that sleep is the most important thing and it should be taken properly at least during the night. Evening sleeps won’t be emphasized in this blog.
It had been 19 years and I never compromised on my sleep except for some exceptional days. May it be boards or my college exams I never stood up late to study. Tension or stress were never a part of my life.
Its 2020 and along with the corona this year has brought a lot of self-awareness into one’s life. All these years that I decided not to watch any series and not to binge watch any shows felt so worthful when unfortunately, the lockdown give me chance to see them. I would surely call it an unfortunate time for me because I knew that if I will start watching some show, I won’t stop binge watching it till I see all the seasons. That’s what all of us do right? So now 'unfortunately' I started seeing these very famous movies and shows. I stood up late nights to complete one episode, then another and another. But than i consciously realised that I am putting by body into a lot of strain. I was able to realise it because earlier I used to have a sound sleep and now it was just too disturbed. When I actually gave it a good brain storming it struck that many people don’t even realise what I’ve realised, because there programming was never like mine. They have disturbed their sound sleep at such a level where they feel whenever they sleep its night.
I have still not been able to regain my sound sleep which was just hindered before few months than how will all of you even experience what it really is to be in sound sleep.
I may take time to get back, but everyday what I say to myself is that, ‘Do not let pity pleasures ruin your life measures. I love you Aastha and I would love if you keep staying stress-free, carefree and nuisance free because life is easy, only if you are easy on it’.
