Wowwww what a night. I remember walking in the room and switching on my computer to pay the electricity bill, but nothing after that. True it has been a long day and I couldn't get out of work until 7:00 (I am more of a 9 to 5 person, so this is extreme) but it was not so brutal as to instigate a blackout. That too a 12-hr blackout.
My cell phone rang several times, I got cold and hot intermittently (that's normal but I usually wake up), I passed the 24 hrs mark with no food ( I have been fasting), but I slept through it all. I did gain some semblance of consciousness when I answered a phone call and had a barely coherent conversation with a friend. It was then that I realised I still had my shoes on along with my work clothes and the sharp thing sticking in my side was my company ID card . I sleep-walked through the clothes changing and teeth -brushing and quickly slipped back into my coma-like condition. Hmmmmm.
I know plenty of people who regularly sleep long hours. People who love to sleep and consider it a hobby. My sister for instance would have won the gold in sleep Olympics, if they ever had one. She would spend the first one week post exams in a death-like state, only waking for natural needs. Of course all that has changed post kids, and now she reminisce about her long, peaceful sleep like an old passionate fling, with sighs and all :).
The point is a 12 hours blackout (without alcohol) maybe normal for a lot of people but for a border-line insomniac like me, it is cause for celebration or perhaps concern. Either my days of long wakeful nights are over or I just had a mental breakdown due to sleep-deprivation and exhaustion.
Well I do feel sleepy again so that is a good sign or maybe its a bad sign. Maybe its the end of insomnia or its the end of me. See!!! sleep does not agree with me. A person with 12 hrs of rest under his belt would be so alert and ummm I guess...rested.
I guess this incident was not that blog worthy, but I was just so excited about it what with this being the longest I have slept in months. Man I need a life. The most exciting thing in months...I slept for 12 hrs? Oh man!!! This is the end isn't it?
