I'm a typical night owl. There is something about the nighttime, especially when everyone has gone to bed and they are enjoying their night while I'm left with pure silence since it's already nighttime. I could be up all night, sometimes from 12:00 pm to 4:00 am, reading my book or just scrolling through YouTube, especially if I have a nighttime sub. I would just be watching a movie. That is why I took my afternoon nap very seriously to make up for my sleep, and I don't joke with my sleep, especially in the afternoon.
Because sleeping in the afternoon would make me gain my lost energy back.
Before I gained admission to the university, I had not seen someone who could beat me if it came to sleep. That's why my late Granma would complain that I was just lazy and that all I knew was to sleep and eat nothing else, that I was sleeping like a pregnant woman, and that she was already suspecting me. But since I gained admission, I only sleep during the daytime when I am back from school. I already knew that at night I would be focused on my books. I tried one day to read in the afternoon and sleep at night, but I ended up sleeping during the time I was reading during the afternoon. Due to the stress, I went through in school since then, I have made sure to sleep in the afternoon when I am back from school and then read my book at night.
Even when I start reading from 12:00 am to 4:00 am and it is time for me to go to sleep, I put on my alarm so that I would wake up early or else I would wake up late for class, but all thanks to my alarm, it used to wake me up early around 6:30 am so that I, my roommate, and my brother would do our morning devotion, do my household chores, bathe, and then go to school. Even sometimes, I would feel sleepy during lecture time because I slept late and woke up early. Sometimes we have a one-hour break before we start the second lecture, so I use the time to sleep for thirty minutes to refresh my brain or to clear my vision so that I won't feel sleepy when our lecturer is teaching us.
How do I manage to get some sleep in the afternoon?
After getting home from school, I would look for a chance to sleep. Even if I felt like watching a movie, all I would do was sleep, because it helped me feel refreshed or energised. It's not easy to go to school from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., so when I got home, I just slept. Even if I was unable to sleep in the afternoon, I would feel moody and dull. If I read at night, I would be so sleepy that I wouldn't even know when I would fall asleep.
Do you have weird dreams
Yes,, I do have weird dreams. There are many times I've had a good night's sleep, and some of my dreams do come true, while something I would dream and it would scare me a lot. There's one day I dreamt that I was among wild animals playing with them, especially lions. Whenever the lion saw someone too close to me, he roared at them. When I woke up the next day I was just laughing and asking myself what type of weird dream is this.
Do you have difficulty sleeping?
Sometimes I do have difficulty sleeping, especially if I am stressed or if I dream about something that is not good. I would be scared to close my eyes, thinking that if I closed my eyes, the dream would come back, and due to that I would find it difficult to sleep.
Do you imagine things
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, I do imagine things a lot,
especially if am walking and am tired I would just be like I wish I had wings to fly or I have the power to disappear. Sometimes I would imagine that am among my friends and a cute and handsome guy comes to propose to me to become his wife and mother of his children🤣🤣🤣🤣, I love to imagine things a lot.
Does your sleep schedule ever clash with the schedules of others?
I would say "Yes." Sometimes I miss so many opportunities just because I am too lazy to get out of bed. Sometimes if I want to sleep and I know I only have a fifty per cent (50%) chance that my alarm will wake me up before I sleep, all I say to God is, "God Almighty, you know I am tired and I don't know maybe my alarm would wake me up, but please God wakes me up by this time" (Amen). It won't get to the time or the exact time God would wake me up, and he never failed me.
