Nominate for the Ignoble Awards-Morning sleep

It's widely acknowledged that yours truly is not the morning type.

I belong to the category of "normal human being". Those who burrow deeper into the matress/quilt/anywhere away from the source of light or sound, at the burst of light with the drawn curtains and wail of the (damned) alarm. But unlike what mindless, cynical, worldwise, dumdums call "laziness" (gasp!!Shocked stares!), we morning sleepers are conoisseurs of le dormis. I call it the Theory of Conscious Sleep.

There is a logical explanation for this theory.

Now let us look at a general scenario. When you are asleep at night- I mean the deep, mindless, drool-from-open-mouth kind of sleep. The kind of sleep from which even an earthquake wouldn't wake you: that is "dull sleep'. Sleep that's...well..dull. I mean you don't really enjoy it because....Dammit!you are not even concious at that point of time!

Now at around the time where your body clock knows it has to wake up- you reach a state of semi-concious sleep. That's why you can hear your mother's voice when she starts the whole " Get-up-you're-late routine. Precisely when you hear that voice/siren/death knell, this theory kicks in.
Now you can savour your sleep. Feel it seeping through your over worked body (???? no, no creative conotations thankyou)Experience it like a vision, Enjoy it like some fragrant wine...Why? Because, technically, you aren't really asleep. You are concious of the feel of the warm blanket and the cold world outside. You are conscious of how your bones feel like they are sleeping. You are conscious of the fact that every second of borrowed sleep involves a risk factor. "Risk Factor ?" you ask. Of course! Sleeping late involves many risks. Some of them are-

a) You might get clobbered by the mater when she loses her temper and decides to manually remove ( read 'throw you out') of the safe sanctuary of your bed.

b) You may have to re-enact the Speed 2 stunts so that you reach your work place on time...well...atleast not too late.

So, naturally,when posed with these risks- the adventurer in you wakes up and decides-" Let's just see how far I can push it!" Because this risk factor also involves not only lightning fast reflex actions ( in event of a hurled pan of water/ running to catch a bus), but also quick thinking and pitting your wits against worthy adversaries- your mother/ warden/ room-mate.
Naturally any hot-blooded human being will rise to the occassion and exhibit an act of pure defiance by staying asleep.

Therefore, in conclusion, I would like to declare that we morning sleepers are not what lesser mortals call " lazy bums" ( poor chaps, they are just....intellectually challenged...you know what I mean?) . We are the fighters of the small struggles! We are the pioneers for Revolution- we leave no rule unbroken! We are the true believers of " Method in Madness ". So next time you are being forced to wake up in the morning- just remember the " Theory of Concious Sleep" and stay PUT!
