Sleep

Its just the same day everyday. You wake up or rather try to get up from the little sleep you had had last night. It was always like that. You don't really fall asleep. Nobody realises when they fall asleep. But then the moment when you wake up is so clearly etched in your mind. Its either someone who woke you up or the ever helpful and yet annoying alarm clock. Or your mother who will lecture you on how you are useless all the time  till you get up irritated. Or it would be the weather- too hot or cold. Or the need to pee, which is the most valid one here. 

Anyway, coming back. Sleep is so ordinary yet an extraordinary thing. As I said, Do you know when do you actually fall asleep? You do know the exact time when you wake up thanks to your friend-cum-enemy the alarm clock. But when do you exactly fall asleep? There are so many culprits behind this. You sleep like a dead body if you have had a very tiring day. And You don't really sleep at all when You are busy with that special someone over the phone or the internet or lamenting the loss of that someone special or some other pain of the past (the sentimentals). And then the other deadly thing- work, assignments, projects. You want to sleep, so terribly, your eyes closing you drooling over your pages of work but you just cant sleep lest there will be some big trouble at the college or work tomorrow...

So that's the extraordinariness of sleep. You just don't know. It is regular no doubt like wanting to go to pee, but yet different. You sleep a lot some days, you don't on others. But yet everyday the most peaceful part of your life is when you are sleeping. Not the events leading up to it when you might be disturbed about something, or worried or missing someone or lamenting something that happened but the time when you have left all this behind and are just nowhere, not dreaming. Dreams suck. It would either make you miss or remember something or someone long lost or something you want dearly raising your hopes. Or something absolutely hogwash. So the sleep without any of these, when you know you are just nowhere is actually the best part of your day. And you actually should look forward to it. The peace around you when you are no one, no where, worrying about nothing, FREE.
