This is crazy! I think I have the craziest work and sleep schedule lately. I work, sleep, work, nap, chores, rest, work, sleep. Oh my….my body clock is in total disaster! It’s rare that I get a straight 5 hours of sleep and I know that’s not good for my health. What should I do? I’m usually off at around past 2AM or the latest is around 4 then wakes up before Ace goes to work past 6AM. Can I not sleep in until I complete the 7 hours required for my body to recuperate? I’d feel guilty if I don’t see him go out of the door so while he is preparing for work, I am wishing he will do it in lightning speed so I could immediately go back to bed. But as I am about to sleep back, my body is totally awake so I spend an hour or two sulkily clicking in FB, Flickr, checking my mails, reading blogger friends’ updates, etc…until it’s about noon time and I only have an hour or two for a nap. It’s really hard having a fulltime job and a handful of blogs to update.
Yesterday, I received an email from a former colleague. I was intrigued and so I read it all the way (which is unusual of me because I don’t read long emails especially if it talks about others…if she’ll email me about her life, the kids and work, then I will heartily read it.LOL). Anyway, back to the email. I think I heard about it somewhere and I was intrigued. It’s about the death of the SAP CEO in India due to cardiac arrest leaving his wife and young kids (I’m sure he has life insurance that his family could claim so they won’t be at a total loss. At least they have something to continue their lives without their father). The author lays down his hypothesis about the cause of the cardiac arrest. Ranjan Das have an active, healthy lifestyle. He’s a marathoner at that and plays other sports. But he was sleep deprived that his body didn’t have the chance to recuperate from his day-to-day activities. The author explains further and said it is necessary to have a straight 7 hours of sleep at night. Guilty! I only have 4-5 hours then a few hours during daytime.
I really wish my schedule will be back to normal (which I doubt if it would really happen) or I’d be able to sleep 7 straight hours daily.
