It's 3:30am now and I just woke up from a 13 hours afternoon nap. LOL. For those who texted or tried calling me during that period, you now know the reason, I'm not ignoring you. Haha. I slept so sound that I did not even realise my sister and my dad were shifting furnitures getting ready for Sunday's celebration.
I'm not really a big fan of afternoon naps (I find it a waste of precious time) but I guess the dreams I had were too beautiful to be missed. In fact I doubt I'll ever want to wake up if I get to continue dreaming about it later. Haha. Anyway, I doubt the nap benefited at all, my fever is gone but the sneezing and coughing kind of gotten worst. My stomach is also growling, I kind of missed dinner time and have to make do with biscuits and milk now. How pathetic right? LOL.
Since we're on the topic on sleeping, few days ago I read an article about oversleeping which reminded me that I ought to re-plan my sleeping patterns. There are quite a few medical problems linked to oversleeping, diabetes, headaches, heart diseases are some of them.
Diabetes: People who slept more than nine hours each night had a 50% greater risk of diabetes than people who slept seven hours per night. This increased risk was also seen in people who slept less than five hours per night. The researchers did not draw conclusions about the physiological link between long sleep and diabetes. But they did suggest that oversleeping could be indicative of underlying medical problems that increase the likelihood of diabetes.
Headaches: For some people prone to headaches, sleeping longer than usual on a weekend or vacation can cause head pain. Researchers believe this is due to the effect oversleeping has on certain neurotransmitters in the brain, including serotonin. People who sleep too much during the day and disrupt their nighttime sleep may also find themselves suffering from headaches in the morning.
Back pain: There was a time when doctors told people suffering from back pain to head straight to bed. But those days are long gone. You do need to curtail your regular exercise program when you are experiencing back pain. But doctors now realize the health benefits of maintaining a certain level of activity. And they recommend against sleeping more than usual, when possible.
Heart disease: A careful analysis of the data from that study showed that women who slept nine to 11 hours per night were 38% more likely to have coronary heart disease than women who slept eight hours.

Well, hope this article kind of "wake" you sleepy heads up too.
I kind of had a minor squabble with 2 person yesterday and I do hope they get my side of the story. I believe we're both a fault. It has been a really hard time for me these days and I do hope you guys understand that. I'm no longer the clown I use to be back then.
