1/3 of the Day

I was feeling very sleepy today morning (just like the other mornings ;)) and was thinking that the reason I did not want to wake up early was that I needed my 8 hours of beauty sleep.

When I was driving to work I was thinking more about this and realized with a start that 8 hours of sleep is 1/3 of the day. And if I am spending 8 hours at work. That only leaves me with 8 more hours to do other things.......which I feel is not sufficient. Sigh.....

I am thinking it will be so hard to cut back upon sleep. I mean it is like an addiction. You gotta sleep......... And there quite a few articles out there which talk about how less than 8 hours of sleep can make you obese(!!!) and also affect your health in many ways etc. So there is no dearth of supporting information for my 8 hour sleep claim :))

Of course - if only that thought at the corner of mind which keeps reminding me that if I slept less, what more I could do in those extra hours would go away, then I could sleep in peace for 8 hours. But it does not...and the eternal battle of thoughts/theories/ideas - to sleep or not sleep for 8 hours keeps continuing.
