Cryogenic Hibernation

“It was the middle-east war goin’ on and we had called for chopper backup. We stood there still in the tyrant dictator’s office when we heard some voices from the next room. We crept towards the room and made little sound as possible. I kicked open the door and shouted ‘freeze!’, but no one was there. They had already gone. But they had left a small girt. A time bomb, beeping continuously with its irritating sound. We stood there, helpless. The sound was getting faster and louder. I picked it up and banged it several times. It was getting even faster. Sweat poured off my forehead. And then… long… endless beep.”

I opened my eyes, and stared at the alarm clock menacingly, hoping that it would switch off on its own.
“Damn you!” I cursed and banged my hand on it.

It’s surprising how human biological clock cant make difference between 5 minutes and 5 hours while sleeping.

Why do people sleep? To regain their cosmic energy? To kill time? To feel like dying for 8 hours and leave everything behind? Or just a celebration of how hard mankind has worked since we evolved? Maybe we are not supposed to see that part of life? (As I was told by Tank).

Whatever it may be, for all I care is to let it be the way it is. And I remember three years ago, saying “Man! Sleeping is a waste, dude! I mean think of all the time I could save without sleep”
Boy, I was dumb back then.

When I slept, I didn’t only sleep, I hibernated. What I mean is that even if there was Brazilian Samba Dance troupe performing around me, I wouldn’t even notice. I slept like I missed out sleep for the last ten years. Back then an alarm clock didn’t change my life even tiny bit, and it had never served its purpose for me.

In my three academic years, sleep more than 7 hours was a hideous crime, and these rules will also be again implemented later on in my life.

Now it’s different, I wake from tiny bit of sound, and get ready robotically and go to class and work.
For now, during weekends I transform myself into a Garfield, except different species. I sleep, I eat, I sleep, I crap, I eat and I sleep.

Well, off I go into the sleep…

…ZZZZZZZZZZZ…
