The other day, I was feeling really sleepy at office. In fact, for a few days before that as well I used to feel sleepy and particularly at the same time – a little after lunch around 3.
Troubled by the fact that I was feeling sleepy at office, I simply googled 'why sleep' and I came across some information that was quite useful in understanding better the dynamics of sleeping.
In the evening, going back home with a colleague of mine, I discussed with him what I found. He was amazed, not with what I told him about sleeping, but by the fact that I could think of googling 'why sleep' when I was feeling sleepy :).
That's what internet does to you. It helps you being curious. It encourages the curious in ways which might seem weird at first but ultimately enhances our understanding of our own selves.
As a result of that 'why sleep' search, I don't get troubled when I feel sleepy, even if at office. I don't blame my job for my sleepiness. I simply acknowledge it as one of the needs of my body – like breathing, drinking, going to toilet and so on. Acknowledging it eases the pressure on me to work when my body isn't willing. In stead, I simply let go and take a break or a short nap even and work later even after office hours. I've realized that way work happens comfortably and of better quality.
