Sleep

everyone has to sleep. some have to get at least 8 hours sleep, some will have to take up to 12hours, and some don't even have a 5-hours-sleep a day. that's so different. some might think it's a waste of time to sleep your day away. some might think it is the best thing ever to sleep, and it's just heavenly nice if you can sleep whenever you want. but actually, why do we have to sleep?

we have to sleep because the lecture is simply boring!! the lecturer is standing while all of the students are sitting on not-so-comfy-but-still comfier-than-standing-foldable chair in Matthew Theatre. "we have to talk for one hour, it's tiring!" that's the most commonly used phrase by all the lecturers worldwide. but i personally think that students tend to have a more tiring routine. it's explained here. " we students have to listen to the lecturers for one hour, and within this one hour, we have to fight against the sleeping devil that constantly lure us into the sleep. so half of our strength are used to fight against the boring lecturer, while half of them are used to fight against the sleep devil.

the picture above showed the final outcome of "multitasking"- listen to the lecturer and fight against falling asleep. so when you're entirely exhausted, the lecture couldn't go any more dull, you will do the the wisest thing in the world, sit back and relax, sleep along with the lullaby~~~ photo courtesy to yihong, and mark who was talked into taking the pic by me shane during the two hours calculus lecture.

there is this tiny thing that i have observed from week to week. the first week i stepped into the lecture hall, it was so occupied by students that i had to sit in the last few rows. the second and third week, students were still coming to the lecture under some unknown reason ( maybe it's just nowhere better to go). the fourth week, i could get myself a seat in the first few rows even though i came in late or 5 mins before the lecture. the fifth week, it's a break for the observer me, i skipped my lecture. 6th week pretty much the same. the numbers of students in the lecture is inversely proportional to time. how sad!!! the sadder thing to say, hald of the students attended the lecture were asleep~~so now you have an idea how many students are actually paying attention to the lecturer.

we have to sleep because we are equipped with pillow and soothing music as a result of the invenion of mp3. some students who have biological background knowledge are smart enough to bring a small pillow with them wherever they go. it can somehow prevent you from any neck ache. anyone who are interested in the pillow, please go to the baby department to get one. it's small enough to be stuffed into your bag and to be called portable. so actually, there are a lot of tools or necessities are invented under the inspiration of getting a good sleep. so why not sleep more and be appreciative of the inventions??!!!

yeah, you guessed it right. i bring the pillow to school everyday. i brought it to taylor's for the whole year that i became the pillow supplier sometimes. my bag is undoubtedly comfortable~and i brought two pillows to aus, the big one to put on the bed and the small one to put in the bag. i am happy that i brought my big pillow to aus~~
"why do you need the small pillow?" my mum asked me when i bought the small pillow from the baby department in Malaysia.
"to put it in my bag and bring it to school, for some purposes" i told her and she was shocked that she said nothing after that.


next, we sleep because we are tired. the fatique caused by the assignments, the online games, msn chatting, looking for friends, waiting for someone to come online, unhappiness, and of course, the nice weather. i spend at least 10 hours online a day, and laptop becomes my fiance. frankly speaking, i cant live without my laptop.

i cant sacrifice my sleep for any other things except for my laptop. just like some people would sacrifice their sleeping time just to be with their lover. sometimes i think, why do we have to spend half day in sleeping, why not we spend it on any other better and meaningful things? whil e i am musing, my eyelids would unconscously shut down, and reopen again the next day when they get sick of the same position for the whole night. so, the same process keeps on recycling, the more i think i should do some meaningful things, the more i sleep. is that a good thing? DEFO!!!!!
