Sleep

Taking an afternoon nap is a luxury. Sometimes kids do not want to take their afternoon nap. They do not want to miss anything by going to sleep. They want to play and play some more. Often, as adults, we would envy those kids. Why didn't they want to take their afternoon nap? We're so busy with 101 things to do that we don't have the time to take an afternoon nap.

Of course, that did not apply to me :) I have no kids to ferry around to school and extra-curricular activities, everyone in my family is independent (transportation-wise), so I have more free time to have an afternoon nap if I want to. I love having an afternoon nap.

Faced with problems, I normally choose to sleep it off. Hopefully when I woke up, it's all just a bad dream. But most often than not, it is not a dream. However, after waking up the problem didn't seem so daunting. Life goes on and after some time, the problem will become just another chapter in the pages of our life.

Night time sleeping is another matter. I hate going to sleep. There are like 101 things I can do at home. Switching TV channel, reading magazines, blogging or reading blogs, cleaning (I do vacuum the house at 11 p.m. sometimes and washes clothes too), or just lazing around appreciating the night.

Why do my eyes started to feel sleepy comes 12 midnight? I love night time. That is my 'alone' time. I wish I can prolong my 'awake' time at night. But in the morning I have to wake up and I already have difficulty waking up :) So have to go to sleep whether I like it or not. Sigh!
