Sleeplessness, Mind Power

This post is all about the sleeplessness witnessed in IIM A.
Its not for the most part about me, as I was never a sleep maniac before coming here either. I loved the days when I would sleep just four hours, using the others productively or otherwise. Thankfully, before joining I had a lot of those long working hour days and long meeting friends nights so sleep wasn't too much.
A look around and I can see the difference in the people around. Mostly so with those who are having their first hostel experiences or are non engineering, for lets admit it, hostel life; more so a engineering hostel life has late nights galore. Those fortuitous one's, or as they like to believe, who spent eight hours sleeping everyday, now call times like 2 am pretty early and sane.
It's amusing at the superficial, but on a slightly deeper level embeds my belief that the need for sleep is nothing but a self mind built need. Yes, the body does need a few hours of rest, but we grossly exaggerate this need more often than not.
Well I do admit I hate the concept of sleeping, and would much rather I could go on without. I do cherish those occasional lazy naps (especially given their infrequency of late), but I'd just rather have that as an option.
This leads me on to one of my favorite topics for deeper discussion - that most of what we believe is in our minds.
coming up - next post.
