"Oh no!! Not again"-these are the first words that my brain forms when my alarm clock starts ringing in the morning and i have to get up to usher in a new day..
There is absolutely no problem in my life which makes me dread to start a new day as many of you may think after reading this. The only problem i have in life is with getting up in the morning and i wish i could change that somehow. Any damn hour is just too early for me as i just dont seem to be satisfied with my sleep when i wake up.
Now people reading this would think that i am a big sleepyhead. But that is also not the case. I am a very light sleeper and usually find 7 hours of sleep quite enough for me. The problem lies in my body clock. I just cant shake off my sleep in the morning. Tell me to burn the midnight oil for any work and i have got absolutely no problem with that. In fact,my brain is at its best and performs with optimum efficiency, i feel, at night. I have realised that i find solutions to many problems in my personal and academic life at night. But the case is something else in the morning. I am sleepy in the morning ( in varying degrees) even if i have had a very good night's sleep. I wonder if i was an owl in my previous birth.
Though i have not made any real effort to change this habit or whatever you may call it and accustom my brain to function in the morning whenever i have tried, thanks to my morning school,tutions and now college,i have failed. Many people have tried in vain to explain the freshness,the beauty etc etc of early morning hours to me when "normal" human brain is supposedly most receptive and attentive. The idea, i think, simply bounces off my thick skull and never seeps in and my mom thinks that i am a complete weirdo.The only real progress i have made is that i am in working condition and pull out my brain out of its stupor fairly well after a nice,hot bath and/or a nice chat with someone..
And no wonder whenever i get the chance to stretch my good night's sleep well into the morning without being bothered i make the most of it. I feel weekends and holidays are God's gift to mankind to experience the pleasure of sleeping when the sun is up already..
Sometimes i wish i had a solution to this. Either i could change the weird mechanism of my body or the normal working hours. Both the options seem fairly out of my reach as of now.. And,as many people can guess after reading this post, the next words my brain forms after my alarm clock forces me to open my eyes are-"Plz 5 minutes more!!!"...
How true!My sentiments exactly!
