The Boring State of Sleep

The Boring State of Sleep…by Eche Nnamdi Onwugbenu ….I am an achiever; I find sleep very boring because I love to work late hours all the time. Working late as 4am helps me understand what life is all about and I get satisfaction knowing that this makes me truly unafraid of death. My life is so forward that my only worries are the things that I haven’t done yet. What is the essence of living in a remarkably fast lane if we will never get everything done? …I am in a state of disorderliness; I am sleepless and all that is on my mind is how to get things done fast, for a brighter future. I want a lot of success; but I have been failing to reward my past successes. Life needs us to keep rewarding her when she succeeds and to encourage her when she fails. Is my lack of sleep a total chaos? …I am so restless when I am idle. My mind does not tolerate it when the whole day goes by and I didn’t give her enough to think about. She is always in control and reminds me constantly that there is a lot of creative things we should be doing. I lost a great lover because I was in a deep state of sleep; and while I was asleep she packed up her life and gave it to the destroyer. What exactly should I fear? ….I am a bad beginner in things I am uncertain about; starting very late at arriving early to work. The greatness of my restlessness is that I love to work late into the night, making sure everything is perfect. Will I continue to deny myself the happiness of going to bed early; just because I think I would be at rest when I am gone off to work? Yes or Maybe- I am uncertain. Why? I am not a perfectionist. I said already: I am an achiever. I will work when others are asleep. I will go the distance in helping others achieve success; whether they are certain of my contribution or not. This is my state of achievement- my statement of orderliness. Why? So that when they are working; maybe then- I will sleep!
