Sleep, deep sleep

So many of us think sleep is almost dispensable. So many of us think that being able to get by with little sleep is a badge of toughness.

I know people who compromise on sleep so they get their daily workouts- till very recently, I was one of that tribe too. I know people who have almost trained their body to believe it needs less sleep than it does.

And yet, the body needs rest. It needs sleep; uninterrupted, quality sleep. Compromise on your passion, but don't cut back on sleep. Someone I know recently died of lack of sleep.

What keeps you awake at night?

"What keeps you awake at night", my boss asked.


"Nothing", I answered. Either something is in my control or it is not. If something is in my control and I can't sleep, I'd rather get up and do it through the night. And if something is not in my control, what's the point of losing sleep over it?

The things most people lose sleep over, I tend to work off either with chocolate or a long run- the latter is more effective, the former more fun.


But I lied. One thing does keep me awake at night- a good book.
