Am I Growing Old?
I remember the day, in High School, when I abandoned my bed-time, went out to had fun with friends, and went back to school in the morning.
Stayed awake for 3 days 2 nights, when I camped out.
Not to forget the how I played MMORPG (Ragnarok Online) for couple days straight without sleep when there were an event to be held.
For all other things, it would be like normal with only 4-5 hours sleep / day. I can’t remember since when I started to worry about my sleeping period.
My old fella, Messach, once told me "If I knew sleeping would be such a bliss like this, I wouldn’t be so sleepless for all this life."
Well, his sleepless record was way greater than mine, so… that was probably his turning point — into the path of righteousness (beuh!).
Same thing happened to me. I started to worry about my hours of sleep. I tried to get at least 6 hours / sleep during my weekdays (since I work 12 hours / day). Sometimes I made it to gained 8 hours of sleep, but that barely happens if there are plenty of new dramas / animes to watch. Also if my online buddies were in the mood to talk.
I got sleepy and tired for the whole day as the consequence. It’s like my body demands more and more of sleep-time, even in my days off, sometimes I fallen to bed in the afternoon.
I’m still staying up late in my days off, but I slept for about 12 hours later on as payback.
2 days ago, I slept 3am in the morning and woke up around 3pm in the afternoon. I was feeling sick, dizzy, runny nose when I woke up, so after I had my lunch and shower, I went out to bought a medicine, and headed back to bed 7pm, until 9am in the morning. That’s practically about 26 hours of sleep, though I’m feeling well today.
Compared to myself in the past, I don’t really need an extra sleep to deal with the general sickness. I wonder how’s it going.
The point is, I began to care more about my sleeping time, while in other side, bunch of my friends, with the same ages, still ignoring their sleeping habit, and going out to play, party, gaming, etc etc, without being wasted.
Should I be glad or envious, — for that I can have a proper rest, or I’m just plainly growing as an old man.

@Ded: Iya dulu jaman waktu masih addicted banget, maklum, awal2 kenal sama yang namanya MMO hahaha.
@memes: udah lupa ya? Aku lupa kapan tepatnya but you told me once before, when I asked why you’re not as insomnia as before, and you said:
“Kalau aku tau tidur itu senikmat ini, aku ga bakal begadang dari dulu”
really??wow….I really am getting more and more senile these days….Therefore I conclude that we are growing old….I just wish I can get the chance to ‘ngombak’ with you again sometime before i die….
Sama ley, sekarang aku juga sudah mengurangi kebiasaan buruk jaman dulu. At least 6 hours a day, kecuali kalo terpaksa.
Cuma satu kebiasaan yang aku blom bisa ilangin; insomnia. Heuheu.
Ini yang susah ni :(
