Sleeping for me is something that hardly come by, would i say that I hardly sleep?, yes! that's the right thing to say, i hardly sleep and that's the reason i'm not gaining weight as i should, most of the times, i just want to stay awake, what makes me sleepy these days is watching a comedy on my phone, when i see one or two comedy skits, they make me laugh and feel weak and before i know it, i will fall asleep

A few days ago I did some research on sleep and I found out that sleep makes us gain weight, even when I read about it, it was somehow hard to accept the fact that we can gain weight through sleep and then I see there is a positive sense in it, because those times a person falls asleep, he is resting, the person is not doing any work and even to think about certains event that he had attend to he will not do it but will only keep his mind relaxed.

Any day I sleep I am always happy with myself because I never see sleep as something so easy for me to achieve, the first thing I would do when I get up would be to drink a glass of water and look for something to eat, because I will feel hungry that's for sure, I don't know if i can also forget the fact that sleep refreshes my memory, that's why once a sleeping person wakes up, he himself would touch his head and use one minute of his time to remember all the activities he had before to sleep.

Because when he was asleep, he would leave all his obligations and duties behind and take a break, it doesn't sound so good if you stay awake twenty-four hours a day, since nobody is a object, I see that sleeping calms me down to have a better State of mind, the headache will stay away from me and I will not feel such a thing in the next few days to come.

Before I would observed any sleep, I will put my headphones on because if I don't put them on, I will not be able to sleep, I am very sensitive to the activities going on around me even while I'm sleeping, if someone walks into my room, I'll know and the person will just see me wake up , this is easy because it seems that I do not enjoy sleeps, but I do it because I need to, to keep my head calm.

During my secondary school days, I remember that the hotel teachers did not allow the students to enjoy their sleep in the morning, they would come, with big canes and wake us up, to continue our daily activities, in doing our morning devotion and sweeping the school environment, so that we will be in class at exactly seven.

Maybe those are the reasons why I still find it hard to enjoy sleep even now.
