Today has been kind to me. Was not as stressful as yesterday. And yes... tomorrow is Friday! It's D-day for every cubicle slave or comercially known as working people. hahahha. Yes!!! I am Friday people!
And as usual...e-mail, sms or bbm flying around...among the ladies, busy planning for our Friday lunch. And it all started with a follow up on our earlier plan to have a farewell lunch for our ex-associate.We missed her and didn't get the chance to say proper goodbye to her just yet. Sadly...she won't be able to make it tomorrow.
And so....we started to visualize our soon to be perfect Friday lunch. Some suggested to cook from home and eat by the lakeside which I have turned down immediately due to Malaysia's fantastic weather (especially on Friday afternoon), some suggest not to go so far cos the Friday traffic is usually massive and this girl who is also known as a sleeping beauty in our workplace, suggested we just eat across the office because she wants to be back in the office early. Everyone started to tease her reply or rather suggestion because we know the fact that she needs the Friday nap badly. Hahahahhaa. Budak ni kecik jer....and she sleeps like everywhere and anytime. Just bring it on! Atas kerusi office ke....kat meja ke, dalam kereta ke...mana2 la. Give her 3 minutes and she will sleep. Lawak giler. She reminds me of my younger days when my dad also called me a sleeping beauty. But I can't afford the title anymore now cos I've got a little snow white to look after. hahahaha
So...back to the sleeping beauty, she ended up sending this long e-mail on the benefits of sleep, which has shut everyone down. I seriously feel responsible to share this here since many of us regards their sleep as not so important. I seriously tak paham kenapa budak2 sekarang ,like my younger brothers and sisters stay up late and waste time talking on the phone, skyping, facebooking, teh tariking, watching movies or even do nothing at late night. Nak dekat2 subuh macam tu baru la nak tido. The next day...dalam pukul 12pm baru nak bangun tido. How disorganized their life is, kan. Bukan ke siang orang semua pegi keje, cari rezeki untuk bawak balik petang nanti. Tapi budak2 sekarang ni, their day starts after 12pm.They are just going againts the human nature.
Well.............u kids out there...or even those who are not kids anymore, but still behaving irresponsibly, please read this!
It is difficult to operate normally when you have been deprived of sleep. Any one who has been deprived of sleep feels tired and sleepy the following day. Apart from the relaxation that one gets after sleeping, there are other benefits of sleep:

If you sleep well for seven to nine hours everyday, you will lose some of the excess weight.
Productivity
Among the immediate and most noticeable benefits of sleep is the level of productivity that you will get the following day. Failure to get enough sleep even if it is for a single night will bring down your productivity the following day.Failure to sleep well for a number for nights makes it harder for you to get back to the normal alertness. It will be difficult to compensate for the hours that you did not sleep in just one night. The answer lies in sleeping well every night.

Light can have adverse effects on the pineal gland which produces melatonin. Melatonin regulates the way circadian rhythm of the body functions. Its production is affected by the presence of light. Even a brief exposure to light might affect the production of melatonin.
