Sleep-deprived???

What a perfect day!

I have been waiting and waiting for the sky to pour some rain and finally Allah has made my dream came true. Alhamdulilah. Thank God, it was raining this morning. No wonder I felt so good this morning. That answered yesterday's breezy evening.

I spent my weekend dozing and I liked it. Nina will always like to doze anytime and anywhere. My thoughts, sleeping is the best thing instead of making tutt!!! LOL. Yeah....it is somehow true. Sex depends on your mood, health condition, confidence and desire. Thus it is good to know that sleeping doesn't even require those above.

I don't know how long do I need to get a good-night sleep. People are talking about 8-hour-beauty-sleep. How much sleep does a human being need? I slept more than 8 hours and still I missed my work. If I slept less than 8 hours, I'll be dead sleepy at work.

Sometimes, your anxiety keeps you awake.

For instance: When you are madly in-love with someone,

you're thinking about him/her before you go to bed and you couldn't really wait to see him/her tomorrow!

She is well-known for her beauty.

She stays younger because she gets more than enough sleep.

That is why she is known as "Sleeping Beauty"
