Sleeping

-

 


Heyy!

So one of my favourite pass time of all time. Sleeping. I'd doze off any time, anywhere regardless of what time it is. A lot of you might. 

                                                                    Feeling low-Sleep                                                                                                    

                            Stressed over something-Sleep                             

Have an exam the next day-Sleep

Had a long day-SLEEP!

Sleeping is an extremely vital thing for us which a majority of us fail to follow. It is as important to us as drinking, eating and breathing.

I'm not gonna get much into detail about how it's beneficial for us physically rather I would like to tell ya'll something about how it affects you mentally.

1)

 


I cannot emphasize this enough but sleeping really calms you down. Nervous about an exam? Having an anxiety attack? Change into your comfy ware and SLEEP! Doesn't matter if it's a 20 minute snooze or a 3 hour long doze. You will wake up in a fresh mood and be able to handle the situation better.

2) 

In continuity with the previous point, you aren't able to focus well if you keep yawning. Your body is tired and needs rest. You need to realize that put yourself to sleep because when you wake up, your brain is much more active which will enhance your memory to grasp more information and be more creative!

3)


A good 8 hours long will bring you more satisfaction than pouring hot fudge over ice cream. You would actually feel lightened and it keeps you in a spirit of enthusiasm all day long. Saying this from personal experience, a full 12-hour sleep is just what you need at times after a long hectic week. It frankly reboots your brain and is super beneficial.

4) 


Last but not least; if you ever thought of getting your life on track and paying attention to details then it all starts with a simple step. Maintaining a sleep schedule. It all starts with a small step. Although it may seem hard initially, trust me, it's worth it in the end.

Most of you reading this might be thinking about the fact that we need to stay up late studying or completing assignments-well you don't. As I've mentioned in my earlier posts as well, sleep early and rise early! Complete your work in time so that you don't burn the midnight oil trying to complete your work.

I love sleeping but there's also a line. Oversleeping is a serious issue too and can lead to various problems.

Stop neglecting sleep because it's important for your Mental Health!

Anyway, this was just part I of this topic and I'll be back with more content on this topic soon :) Please share and subscribe if you love sleeping like me!

Signing off,

Kuhu :)

Blah Days

-
Image
  Some days rule: You feel like the most productive person in the world, everything seems to go your way and life feels good; you're on Cloud 9. Some days suck: They make you feel sad and all you want to do on those days is curl up into your blanket and wait for the day to end. And some days, are simply, blah: The middle ground. Blah days are ones where you don't feel your best - something just feels off; things don't seem to snap into place and the very idea of getting it into place leaves you with lethargy. But why are they important? Why do most of us experience it, regularly? Because these, unexpectedly, are the "scariest days": they make you question your current lifestyle, your environment, your life. I don't like the above thought. Instead, I like to look at them as perspective days. Blah days are those which help you realise what you're doing with life and what your goals are. See, when you're in a state of enjoyment or morose-ness, chances are...

"I'm Traumatised"

-

Recently, I was talking to a bunch of people and ranting about the Hindi syllabus of ICSE . For those who went through the system, you and I both know the struggle of reading Sukhi daali and Deepdan. For those who didn't, just be glad. The thing that irked me the most about that conversation was that they kept referring to the chapters as "traumatic." And I realised that this wasn't the first time such an incident occurred in front of me. By introspecting my conversations with people, I realised the term was trivialised, simply because they didn't know what it meant . Google defines Trauma as an emotional response caused by severe distressing events that are outside the normal range of human experiences. Take a second to read the underlined words: severe, distressing, outside normal. Trauma is a strong word. Unfortunately, it has become ubiquitous in our lexicon, applied liberally to describe an ever-widening spectrum of experiences. When you use this word in ...

The Broken Hot Chocolate Machine

 I've been in college for about over a month now. In the 40 days I've spent here, I've visited the food hall over 100 times - of which the Hot chocolate machine has been broken for over 90. Bombay's humidity was quickly replaced by Boston's "Fall" (it's winter guys) and the only thing helping me through the transition was a cup of hot chocolate every morning. But about 2 weeks in, the hot chocolate machine broke.       Initially, a piece of paper, closely stuck by tape, lay pressed against the machine: " Hot Chocolate Machine is Broken! "  4 weeks in, it's now a laminated sheet of paper, carefully stuck to the machine. Someone took the time to type it out onto a computer, print it, cut it, have it laminated, and stick it up to the machine. Do you know what they could be doing in that time? (Hint: getting the machine fixed!) This post is not about the machine. (Obviously Kuhu, it's a Mental Health blog - get to the point!) We often pro...

Mental Health Illnesses=Cool?

  Hey Everyone!! Welcome to Mental Health Awareness Month! So, we all may have a come across with at least one person in our lives who might have used the name of a mental disorder incorrectly. I've had my share too. I have seen a lot of people claim that they are "depressed" or have "anxiety" without really knowing what it is. Took me a while to understand why they said stuff like this, but when found out the reason I was appalled. To look cool, duh "Seriously?!" That was my exact reaction-in every tone imaginable. Sarcastic, shocked, surprised, amazed, aghast and what not! This very encounter is the reason why I chose to write to write on this topic and throw some light on why having a mental illness IS NOT "COOL". For starters, why would you want to diagnose yourself with something you don't have? You wouldn't do that if  it were a physical illness, right? You wouldn't say that you've gotten a fracture when its simply a spr...
