Sleep disorder


Of late my schedule has become too erratic. Though it is not the first time this is happening to me, i am really beginning to hate it.


I feel sleepy at all the wrong hours and when it is time to sleep (for normal people) I am wide awake. Last night I went to bed at a good time, which was 11:30 pm. But something was different from all the normal individuals who sleep around that hour everyday. I had taken an anti-allergic pill. Good! The effect was so good that allergy vanished and I slept for around 15-16 hours (believe me).



I have been trying hard to get back the schedule to normal. But it's not happening. So, now something drastic needs to be done.



....I wont sleep till I am dead tired.

....I will not sleep at all if it is beyond 2:00 am.

....Some form of exercise has to happen everyday.



I just hope it works. I am really fed up. :(

Agar sangat ka asar hona hota, to humaari sangat pehle bhi buri nahi thi. Ye to pehli baar mere antar-mann se awaaz aayi hai ki "Sudhar jaao bachcha" :)

@ JC
Whoever told you that i have assignments to finish, did not lie to you, sach mein. Just that it was not told as to what time the assignment should be done. Now that i m punishing myself by not sleeping, it is good that i do something constructive.

Good luck in your efforts.

I have been trying and trying and trying to solve exactly this problem. One of the various attempts involved following the guidelines you mention, except that the 2am was replaced by 6am :)
Was able to follow it for all of one day. But I think it is doable. I just didn't do it right.

Am still trying.

If you figure out a way to solve your sleep problem do post about it. It would be useful.

I have repaired my screwed up cycle.. earlier I used to sleep late... now I'm an early riser. I wake up at 600hrs and go to bed at 2300 hrs. I beleive your sleeping cycle can easily be repaired if you completely distract yourselves from whatever work you do in late night. Just say to yourselves "I'll close my working hours shutter at 2100 hrs" Stop whatever you do. Dine nicely and then go to bed.
If you were in west you would have maintained this cycle. Now come to India and try to sleep normally... ususally this adjustment takes hardly few days, even if you have stayed for a very long time in the West... So why you peole are taking this much time. You have to try harder and harsher....





I still beleive in the beauty of infinity......

A poem from childhood...

"Long legged Italy, kicked poor Sicily In the middle of Mediterranean Sea. Austria was Hungary Took a bit of Turkey Fried it in Japan Dipped it in Greece...." I remember only this much. This poem was my first attempt at learning the names of these countries and locating them on the map of the world. And I thought Austria and Australia were same. :-) It's time to confirm that I was wrong at that point of time, some twenty years back...

Drama on Lauh-pad-gamini

For those who don't know what is 'Lauh-pad-gamini' , it means 'train' (I learnt that from Chupke Chupke ). And let me re-emphasize the fact that I love train journeys. One of them is over and the other is round the corner. The reason for the upcoming journey deserves another post and I will write about it later. If life is a journey, I would like it to be a train journey. That's what the new look of my blog says too. The other day I was talking to a friend and this question came up "How do you think life has changed you?" There are so many things but the first thing which came in my head was: I have learnt to extract joy from 'little' things in life and even the otherwise 'major' things can't keep my spirits down for long. Yes, things do affect me but I have learnt to move on. But this post is not about lessons of life. It is about 'trains' and 'movies', which occupy a special position in my life. :) There are so ma

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

I went for this movie with zero-expectation just to watch SRK after a long interval of more than a year and I didn't get disappointed. Seriously, it is a very ordinary movie which takes up an age-old idea (of arranged marriage) and adds all kinds of 'spices' and SRK to it just to cater to a very specific kind of audience, which includes SRK fans and YRF loyals or time-pass movie goers. Surinder Sahni cannot be 'one' single man. There are many contradictions within this character. The man leads a dull, boring, monotonous life with his yellow suitcase, yellow tiffin, yellow car and a yellow bed sheet... (i might have missed other yellow objects around him). And he accepts the fact that he is indeed a boring person. Now, he decides to change his personality just to surprise his young, vibrant, newly-wedded wife. He turns himself into the "movie-hero" who makes his Taani ji smile. The surprising part is that he looks extremely comfortable in this new transfo
