Chronic somnolence

When it comes to sleeping in class or during lectures or during whatever kind of talks, there are there types of people;

• The1st type are those who are always alert and never sleep during any talk. They don’t even doze off in cars or moving vehicles

• The 2^nd type are those who sleep only when extremely tired or the lecture is too dull or when they had been burning the midnight oil

• The 3^rd type includes those who sleep when they are not physically active. Whenever they have to sit still during a lecture or talk, they start to get drowsy and sleepy, they are in a semi-conscious, trance-like state. Whenever they get into any vehicle as passengers, they straight away go to sleep.

Me? I belong to the last group. It’s not that I don’t sleep at night. I just need a lot of sleep to function.

This fact does bother me much coz I always doze off in class. Cemana nak blaja?

Some say try eating sweets. Nope, doesn’t work. I’d just predispose meself to get diabetes.

Try moving legs up and down, sometimes work, sometimes doesn’t.

What does work is the lecturer scolding me. Skali kene, my sleepy state macam kene whack and I’m all ears and conscious thereafter.

The thing is, slalu je orang lain tido jugak but I’m the one who always gets noticed. Darn! My classmate anep always teases me about it. Malu jeh.

Hmm, must find a way to solve my chronic sleeping disorder. I have green eyes toward the 1^st type of peeps.
