Sleeping Rights

Yesterday night, I was finding it too difficult to sleep. I wanted to sleep, it was already 1.30am but I could not sleep. I ended up shifting in my bed all night long. I don’t know why I wasn’t feeling sleepy. It’s weird but when others want me to be awake I want to sleep and when the nature gives me time to sleep, when no one is bothering me, I don’t know where my sleep runs away. While lying awake all night long, I realized how important is to feel sleepy when you want to sleep. It’s like people who can sleep without any efforts have a blessing that they themselves are not aware of. And as the night kept progressing I gave my mind the liberty to wander aimlessly. And not to my surprise, my mind came up with a mind blowing idea. My mind said how great it would be if you could get sleep on fixed times only. Like from night 10 to morning 8. When the clock struck 10 you will sleep then and there. It’s like you know in sleeping beauty fable where the whole city sleeps except that here we won’t sleep like forever. We would just sleep till 8 in the morning.

How awesome that would be? Nobody would get out of their house before 8am because everybody would get up after 8am.

Government would announce public transport only till 8.30pm as even the drivers would have to reach to their place before 10pm. The offices would shut by 6pm.

There won’t be any night shifts because whatever the bosses do the employees will sleep at 10pm with or without their permission.

Nobody would sit till late in the office. Government would sue the offices who would make their employees wait in the office after 6pm as every person has right to sleep in their home and cannot be forced to sleep in their cubicle.

There won’t be any burglary in night because the thieves themselves would be sleeping. The crime rate would decrease to such a great extent.

People won’t be scared of ghosts anymore because everybody would be sleeping when they would come. Even ghosts would get bored and will run away on their own.

Parents won’t be worried about their children coming late from party because they would know that how much ever big party it would be, it won’t last beyond 10. In fact, parents won’t need to give deadlines to their children as they would know what will be their deadline.

Children won’t have to stay up all night studying as they possibly couldn’t. Teachers would give less homework as they would know that the children have time only until 10pm.

Everybody’s health would be good since everybody would get a good 10 hours sleep. No one would get dark circles due to lack of sleep. No one would hallucinate due to lack of sleep. People would lead healthy lives.

Wow!! This place would be such a wonderful place to live in. My mind is such a genius. I am proud of it. What a superb solution to the sleeping problem.[;-)]
