Sleep Or Not?

How often does it happen that you feel sleepy, eyes closing every minute and you know you can’t do anything in this state of mind but you still don’t WANT to sleep?

This is my current state right now. 1:23 AM, I can’t hear a single sound, not even clocks (I don’t keep clocks in my room, I hate their sound in the night). It is like a strong battle between heart and mind or maybe two different segments of mind. I really don’t want to sleep despite knowing that I may not be able to complete this post due to the current state where I can sleep any moment.

And I really need to sleep. I’ve classes from 9 until 5 tomorrow with little break. Yet, I don’t want to sleep.

It’s not as if I’m doing something productive. I’ve done nothing in the past hour other than thinking whether to sleep or not.

Why does this happen? Any ideas or experiences?

    Come on man….if u feel sleep shut the thing and go to sleep…..its useless to fight sleep…especially in my case…My suggestion go to sleep whenever u feel like u can’t do without it.

  2. ummmm…can you go visit some other city with a group of friends over the weekend?

  3. @Awais: I know how you love to sleep :P

    @karachiwali: no chance!!! 4 courseworks have been gifted in this week!

  4. You know.. this is coming by experience. I have often given in to the impulse of not WANTING to sleep, even though my eyes would be drooping. Then, I would drown myself in a book, KEEP myself awake…and then

    Thoroughly regret the next unproductive day :)

    SO since you can’t afford to be unproductive… then, its muchhhh better to sleep :)

    AAgay kabhi aisa ho, to do not hesitate….get your sleep!

    sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep my friend… sleeeeeeeeeep… i personally think that about 6 hours of sleep in a day is enough… anything more and its a waste…. but then again…. i used to get my 6 hours during lectures… but not everyone is Talha Abid :D

  6. @Uni: Thanks for the advise grandma :P

    @Talha: When did you attend classes for 6 hours to get that sleep? :D

    @(Anas + Awais): If I was in class… I was asleep…. If not… I was sleeping in my room… not much of a difference..

  9. I understand this state man, sleep is so boring!

    There are times when I need to sleep but don’t want to because of “all the time wasted during sleep that can be put to use in doing something fun!”

  10. @SAWJ: That’s almost what I think. The time can surely be used in doing something fun and, may I add, productive :)

  11. I have never seen such a great site before
