Have you enjoyed this

My grandmother always used to say :
Thookam thookam enru ayusai tholayadheda which means if you sleep more you live for less years or If I have not translated properly, please help me in translating properly.

Sometimes before lunch I get good sleep and without my knowledge I go on dozing. Today after a long it was like that. At 12 p.m. when I was on line , I was dozing off. When you get sleep without your knowledge , you enjoy that sleep. So immediately went and lied down for sometimes and enjoyed my sleep.

I was having some itching problem , for long time I did not go to the Doctor and two weeks back I went and checked up. Doctor gave me some medicines and told me come after 20 days after taking blood test. Before I started the medicines I never used to get sleep properly in the night and everyday I used to go to sleep after 12 pm. or sometimes 1 p.m. and used to get up two, three times in the night. But after I started taking medicines I am getting good sleep in the night and get up only in the morning. After lunch when I am watching TV my eyes dose off by itself and I get good sleep. But since the programme is a nice programme I watch that and go to sleep only by 3 pm.

When I get good sleep, I enjoy that sleep, because after sixty many people dont get sleep, so when you get it should not miss the opportunity.

Ok reading my blog on sleep hope you people are not feeling sleepy. Please let me know

Viji, when I read your blogs, I wake up. You know why???? You always write good blogs which make me think about the subject. Like Karma, Laxmi's visit etc etc. I analyze it.
Keep on writing!!!!!

Dear Ms. Viji
Yes I have enjoyed the kind of sleep you described.."thirandu varum thookam". My only problem is this "thookam" comes on weekdays when I have to work but on weekends I am wide awake....!
I too sometimes have allergic itching problem and take "zyrtec". The itch goes away but I get very sleepy and it wears away only after two days or so.
BTW your article did not make me sleepy...as "Ms. coffeelover" mentioned it makes me stop for a moment and reflect on life's simple things...
looking forward to more such posts...
