The other day I was waking up my son in the morning and he immediately was unhappy to be woken up from a good sleep! The human is the only being in the universe who will keep an alarm to shake him or her out of a sleep!
Many times if you also feel like that then it is ok since according to Dr Ellis Silver; we are not meant to be tuned to the 24 hours! We humans are more tuned to 25!
According to him the problem is that we don’t fit in on this planet!
We are so out of place! The days are too short and their length keeps changing, meaning that our body clocks are permanently screwed up.
Apparently the gravity is too strong so we feel heavy and strong and it makes us sick. Anyone who goes for a long walk and is not used to it would tell you! Or when you see him or her holding his or her back in a bent posture then you will automatically know!
In fact if you analyse, the whole world is not suited for the average HUMAN! The Earth is trying to harm us in one way or the other! Of course some may say the opposite! So we cannot drink the natural water! They aren’t what we’re used to, and the food doesn’t contain enough minerals!
The summers are too hot, the winters are too cold, and we either want to migrate or hibernate! Of course we cannot do either!
An interesting observation is also on how most animals wake up when they are exposed to increased levels of carbon dioxide. Now This is a useful response as it allows them to flee from things like forest fires!
But it is no surprise that Carbon dioxide has opposite effect on us, it either sends to sleep or puts us into a deeper sleep!
This Could be one of the worst possible responses which kills millions of people, especially before the advent of smoke alarms! Thousands of people owe their life to the pets such as dogs and cats for waking them up when their house caught on fire!
The crux is that our body’s natural (circadian) rhythm doesn’t match the Earth’s 24-hour clock!
This is simple enough to prove apparently!
If you just deprive people of external stimuli, such as daylight and clocks, and let them wake and sleep and turn the lights on and off whenever they like. After about two weeks they’ll settle into their body’s natural sleep-wake cycle, completely out of step with the outside world, where each day lasts around 25 hours!
We aren’t usually deprived of external stimuli, of course, and our biological clocks reset each morning as soon as the daylight hits our eyes. But as we’re an hour short, we feel pretty rotten when this happens. Many of us feel a massive resistance when it’s time to get up in the morning! This is especially true for some people like me who are not ‘morning people’ who every morning feel that they do not belong in this Earth!
Then again those people like me could just be plain lazy! Just look at the hard working birds! Thinking of birds and nature reminds me of Padma award winner Maruti Chitampalli!
Now enough excuses of getting up early! Just sleep early!
Shubh ratri!
