EVERY MINUTE THAT WE SLEEP

First of all the entire credit goes to an anonymous friend who has given such a funny topic. Complete humor have been added to make this post as much entertaining as possible.

“Every minute that we sleep”- it may be an incomplete sentence but the word “we” means the students and they can understand the value of sleep between the off-classes and the in-classes.

Let me share an example- In class and out class, there are huge scopes of sleeping for those students who think the class has no value addition to their life or feel that the lecture is not motivating enough to help them keep their eyelids open. It’s the pride of the BACK-BENCHERS who sleep every minute sitting in the painful chair in a painful posture. Those people are the soft targets for a faculty to launch an all round assault of asking questions- as it’s obvious to the faculties that the back benchers belong to the PREMIUM SLEEPER CLASS. But how come they never realize that like every leader has followers, so, every front bench have a back bench. It’s the student’s honesty to sit there and proclaim himself as the back benchers.

Another amazing fact about this great classroom activity is the types of postures that we inherit just to get a sleep. Some sleep open eyed like a predator, some cook-up an old aunt’s tale of “not feeling well” and the smarter segment prefer to take cover by deliberately sleeping behind the fattest kid of the class. They prefer to be in stealth mode from the teacher. Whenever they sit, they sit exactly at the back of their cover and all this includes some calculations.

Now coming back to the topic, out class sleeping is done on bed and mattresses. Before sleeping we always set up an alarm in our clocks or cell phones. Some people hardly get one or a couple of hours to sleep and some sleep so soundly that they miss their classes. But since setting alarm is a liability which is to be done, so be it. We never get up to the alarm ring. It’s our inner self which pulls you back to the bed and says “c’mon, what’s the heck? Maybe some few more minutes.” So, for that, EVERY MINUTE THAT WE SLEEP really counts.
