Dubious, isn't it?

Am I fighting to not sleep? Or am I fighting to sleep? Both. My sleeping problem dates back to nearly 10 years ago. Or more. The more I try to analyze, the more earlier this problem seems to have occurred.

Ok, let me start here. Falling asleep was never a problem. I used to sleep in classes, during study hours (I was notorious for falling asleep in my 11th, when I was in hostel), during work (nowadays) and guess what! I even dozed off while driving my bike!!! Damn ain't I lucky to be still alive and isn't Khalid too?? By the way, that guy was the pillion rider on of those sleep-driving adventures.

And then, if all this seems common, I started having problem of going to sleep! Or simply put, sleeping when I have to, that is in the nights. While I was in India, I escaped saying I was preparing myself for US timings and used to stay awake till 4,5 even 6am in the mornings.

But, after coming here, I have to explain myself that I am preparing myself for going back to India! Pch! I take up almost an hour of lying-on-the-bed time to actually get some sleep. And as if this were not enough, I have the most torrid times controlling the traffic of my thoughts in that one hour.

The expressway opens up just before I hit the bed (immediately after I switch off the computer) and lasts as long as I sleep. Or until I wake up. The only funny thing is, the rush-hour traffic slows down or cools off after I actually sleep. But does not completely die out.

Everyday, literally everyday, I wake up, feeling even more TIRED out than I was before sleeping. The traffic takes it toll. I sleep during the day.

As is the case of which came first, the egg of the chicken, my problem also has it's share of questions. Did sleeplessness cause me to sleep during the day or sleeping during the day cause my sleeplessness at night?

It seems fairly easy to suggest that the latter might be cause but then, I do face this problem even when I am in one of those rare cases of active days!!

One solution that I have developed over these years is simply.... IGNORING it.

If you suffer from the same problem and do not have a solution yet, try mine. Or if you did find one, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR????
