“I’m now a hundred and seven years old -and feeling fine… a little sleepy but fine.”
Sleep – is a state or period of complete or partial unconsciousness, normal and periodic in man and the higher animals. In animals it is sometimes prolonged, as in hibernation.
- It is a period of slumber. Any condition of inactivity, torpor or rest; specifically, the rest of the grave; death.
- Synonymous to rest.
- Something that I’ve deprived myself from… sometimes intentionally, but most of the time - I’ve had too much coffee. Maybe sometimes I just need coffee to blame for my inability to sleep.
What made me thought about my sleeping habit?
It’s the broadsheet that I bought for 20.00 pesos last Sunday May 8, 2011 Mother’s Day.
One article caught my attention for I am a self-confessed guilty of neglecting the importance of sleeping properly.
Once again, I never intended to commit plagiarism.
But I don’t know why Henrylito Tacio’s writings always end up in my files.
Gee I must be a fan of him.
I just wanted to share what I have read from that paper.
Coz most of us around here in the net world nowadays, doesn’t even bother browsing on the papers.
I will infuse my thoughts on what the author have written in his article.
Here goes his article.
I typed this one as I’ve done before.

Is sleeping a hindrance to success?
By Henrylito D. Tacio
We spend one third of our lives sleeping. But successful people don’t sleep too much. They manage to sleep only three to four hours each day and yet they have become rich and famous.
Science digest once pointed out: “Long sleepers (nine hours or more) are likely to be anxious, mildly depressed, chronic complainers about minor aches and pains, and not very sure of themselves. Short sleepers (six hours or less) are likely to be energetic, ambitious, decisive, socially adept, and satisfied with life.”
Thomas Alva Edison will definitely agree with that. When he was young he sometimes worked for several days in a row, catching up on sleep later. On one such occasion, he slept for thirty-six hours straight (waking briefly to eat steak, potatoes and apple pie).
“Sleep is an acquired habit,” the American inventor said. “Cells don’t sleep. Fish swim in the water all night. Even a horse doesn’t sleep. A man doesn’t need any sleep.”
In these days of 24-hour e-mail, busy jobs, and social networking (including facebook and twitter), we re no longer paying attention to our sleep. “We need to value sleep”, decries Delwyn Bartlett, a sleep expert at the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research.
Cutting back on sleep could increase the risk of heart disease, a study published Monday found. Sleeping less than 7.5 hours a night was associated with a 33 percent higher rate of cardiovascular incidents such as strokes and heart attacks, according to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association’s Archives of Internal Medicine.
Some people think that because a person lacks sleep, he will get thinner. Such is the exact opposite. According to Dr. Yue- Joe Lee, a physician and professor at the department of Psychiatry of the National Taiwan University, insufficient sleep may affect three hormones that can contribute to obesity. First, there’s leptin, an appetite-suppressing hormone found in our fat and its levels are regulated during sleep, he says. Then, there’s ghlerin, which triggers appetite and increases with sleep deprivation. Our bodies then produce more of the stress hormone cortisol, which increases fat storage.
Not only do the increased hormones resulting from sleep loss cause us to eat more but most of us also make poor food choices when we’re tired. “Get sufficient sleep if you don’t want to gain weight,” Dr. Lee Advises.
So how much sleep do we need? Experts say the amount of sleep it takes to achieve rejuvenation varies from person to person. “It’s not a fixed number,” says Patrick Gerard Moral, head of the sleep and snore diagnostic and treatment unit in the University of Sto. Tomas.
The length, he adds, is not the only important factor in sleeping but the quality as well. Also, people who lose sleep every night will suffer from what he calls sleep debt. “The sleep debt is compounded over a prolonged period and recovery will take much longer than the actual hours lost”, Dr. Moral explains.
But to some successful people, getting a short sleep is better. Napoleon Bonaparte was said to get by only three or four hours of sleep. Sometimes, he would wake at three in the morning and would dictate to his secretary until dawn, snapping impatiently at the sleepy aid, “What’s the matter with you? You’re sleeping on your feet.”
At the age of eight, American comedian David Brenner figured out that by cutting his sleep down to four hours maximum a night, he could save up 1,456 more waking hours a year than the average person. In this way, he acquired numerous “extra years of life.” As he puts it: “I’m now a hundred and seven years old -and feeling fine… a little sleepy but fine.”
While she was prime minister of Great Britain, Margaret Thatcher began her eighteen-hour workday when the British Broadcasting Corporation was still broadcasting the farm report. She often cooked a light super for herself and her husband when she got home (usually around 11:00 p.m.), then did a few hours of paperwork. “It is a sin to be idle,” she was quoted as saying.
While these people are happy to be awake most of the time, there are those who really want to sleep but can’t. These are people who are suffering from insomnia, a chronic inability to sleep or to remain asleep through the night.
Insomnia ranks right behind common cold, stomach disorders, and headaches as a reason why people seek a doctor’s help. The sleeping disorder is caused by a variety of physical and psychological factors. These includes emotional stress, physical pain and discomfort, disorders in the brain function, drug abuse and drug dependence, and other problems that produces anxiety and other problems.
The world is replete of famous people with insomnia: German actress Marlene Dietrich, French author Alexander Dumas, American actress Judy Garland, Austrian Author Franz Kafka, and American Author Mark Twain.
Each of them had their own way of beating insomnia. The only thing that would lull Marlene Dietrich to sleep was a sardine-and-onion sandwich on a rye. Alexander Dumas took late night strolls, and eventually started to sleep through the night.
As a teenager, Judy Garland was prescribed with amphetamines to control her weight. She added sleeping pills to her regimen and her insomnia and addiction increased. She eventually died of drug overdose.
Franz Kafka, miserable with insomnia, kept a diary detailing hi suffering. For October 2, 1911, he wrote: “Sleepless night. The third in a row. I fall asleep soundly, but after an hour I woke up, as though I had laid my head in the wrong hole.”
An irritable insomniac, Mark Twain once threw a pillow at the window of his bedroom while he was guest in a friend’s house. When the satisfying crash let in what he thought was fresh air, he fell asleep at last. In the morning, he discovered that he had broken a glass-enclosed bookcase.
Ah, sleep. Miguel de Cervantes, in Don Quixote, surmised: “ Now, blessing light on him that first invented sleep! It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot. It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap, and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even”

End of his article – time to start mine

Yes indeed, when I was in my youth years I was ordered to sleep in the afternoon, because they believed that sleeping in the afternoon would make you taller when you grow older. I grew up but as an average Filipino, and thanks for my parent’s genes, I didn’t grow taller as expected. How I wished that those cherifer and PGM-22 products were there when I was in my youth years. Maybe they could have helped me gain some extra inches. But thankfully that I was born under the female gene pool, the hills on our shoes will do the trick.
Now that I have my own kid, I wanted her to sleep in the afternoon, but I’m having a hard time luring her to even think about sleeping during those hours where it is much more fun to play under the cherry tree, and plucking my mother’s flowering plants from their pots hahaha. It is much more fun seeing kids lay and laughing and shouting as if there’s no tomorrow. Gee I hope she won’t blame me in the future.
I’m a long sleeper. Honestly, I have a bad sleeping habit. Sometimes, If I sleep around 1:00 a.m. it is expected that I will be waking up after everyone in the house have finished his or her lunch. There are time when I sleep around 3 a.m., expect me to wake up around 6:00 in the morning, and never to sleep again.
When my Ginnie and me were still at the care of her father, I was having a hard time getting myself to sleep. I think about a lot of things. I was kind of having a great mistrust towards him because I’ve proven his guilt. When I’ve finally decided to call it off - I’ve said “Adieu sleepless nights…” It took me quite a long time but I managed to forgive him.
When I got addicted to chats, Gee, my longest time to sleep was 3 hours.
I’m so glad that I’ve gotten over it.
Sometimes when I have some problems and ran out of ideas on how to solve them, I sleep; I’ll leave it for tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow has a solution. I just need to sleep, my head needs to rest, I can feel that my chest starts to feel uneasy and I should sleep.
But some problems won’t wait for tomorrow. You just got to solve it right now.
I used to tell myself: “I maybe suffering from insomnia” but I know that I’m not. But how can I be certain of that when I didn’t even bothered seeing a doctor to determine whether I am really suffering from it. Sometimes misdiagnosis happens when the patient doesn’t trust the doctor that much.
Yes indeed I would agree on Delwyn Barlett that we have to value sleep.
Sometimes we only realize the value of some things when we’ve lost it.
Our body has it’s own clock. But that clock was adaptive. But definitely we need to rest.
Everything that we do to our body must be balanced accordingly.
Maybe those late night strolls that Alexander Dumas took made him realized that the world around him was sleeping, and he’s the only one enjoying the silence of the night… just maybe…
The world around him that time was quite different compared to what the world have become in our generation. They don’t have much nightlife. They don’t have the Internet. All they can see was the world around them. Their resources were limited they won’t even think about clicking on the thumbies. With limited resources for knowledge, they tend to bring out the best in their selves without even knowing that their writings will influence our generation.
What we enjoy right now was a product of their diligence, their hunger for knowledge. Their knowledge is their legacy.
And what we have learned from our generation must be passed on to the next.
Though as with the continuous study, inevitably OBSOLESCENCE takes form.
Awe, how I hate the word “Obsolete”.
With regards to Mark Twain’s case… it’s all in the mind.
If you think that there’s something wrong, even when there’s not, there will be.
Sometimes that happens.
So far, I would ultimately agree with Don Quixote…
Even the seasons need to give way to each other.
We “need” sleep.
What is success when you don’t have the time to relax a bit and spend time with your loved ones? Chillax!!! (Combined term for Chill out and Relax…)
So, is sleeping a hindrance to success? You definitely know the answer to this question.
So ciao, have a good night’s sleep.
Have the sweetest siesta.
Have those magical forty winks.
Scratch while having some catnap.
Sweet dreams, sleep tight…
And dream of me as I dream of my one cup of coffee, my ever beloved coffee in the morning…
Awe, before I forget…I’ll always be wishing you a happy lifetime of the very best in music, love, hope, inspiration, friendship and faith...Do what you love to do...Do what makes you happy...Never ever let anybody or anything pull you down...Have fun. Enjoy life...live your life to the fullest...Live your dreams...Never stop believing!!!! Yihee!! Cheers for the love of life :) whoot whoot!!! Who wants to join the ride???
Hugs!!!!
Chryss
p.s… (Disclaimer note) (hahahaha)
If this is tantamount to blogging… Gee honestly, I was not really into blogging. I just have the need to do this to escape boredom.
And I have a great fear on the quote: “Idle hands are the devil’s playground”. He had me once…and I’ve been a real bad girl…if you want to ask for anything…except money… (I don’t have spare hehehe) and don’t go asking for my hand…. I won’t be able to type. hahahahha
Channel 25 said… The most important thing is to never stop asking questions.
But sometimes I don’t put that in practice. Because there is something in me that definitely know the answers to my own questions. I better keep my mouth shut. And do the nod nod!!! And have that big grin!!!
Just a thought: There is always a way to be honest without being brutal. If ever that you find anything wrong like sheen on my nose, grammatical errors or anything… “TELL IT TO ME “DIRECTLY”

Do place “Hi chryss, just a question” as subject so that I can attend to your message.
Chill out, Relax, Sit back and enjoy life to the fullest.
Your secrets are safe with me.
If you want to be a singer, practice singing.
If your mind is telling you to do something bad…remember what Pinnochio said… Let your conscience be your guide.
And if ever that you got stacked in choosing between two evils, choose the lesser one.
If you want to write, feed your mind.
But when it comes to scribing your feelings, let your heart be your guide.
