Slumber marathon ZZZzzzZZZZzz

It takes more energy to have fun during the holidays than to go about our daily boring routines on working days. After a series of continuous gastronomic & booze sessions for 5 days in a row from Deepavali to the second day of Hari Raya, my energy level is at its all time low.

Yesterday and today I took the opportunity to binge on sleep to really recharge my body to its former glory. I had a very long 4 hours afternoon nap before dinner. After dinner, I fell asleep at 9:30p.m. and woke up at midnight for supper. Then, I went to bed again at 2a.m. and slept for 12 hours, waking up only for breakfast before drifting back to dreamland until 1:45p.m. today. If I add up the number of hours I’ve been sleeping since yesterday afternoon, it comes up to about 18+ hours of slumber marathon!

The more I sleep, the more I want to continue sleeping. It’s so addictive! The bonus of all these sleeps is the dreams that accompanied them. Each time I doze off, I drift to a land of fantasy. It is like watching multiple movies in my dreams. So many stories. Some were funny while others were strange. Some still lingers in my mind as I wake up, like a good book.

wow, i cant remember the last time (or if ever) i slept that much. must be when i was a kid. haha. sleeping is definately great when you are tired as a short nap helps to recharge your batteries. but i think too much of it makes you lethargic.
