Generally, i hardly take a nap in the afternoons. Unless i'm completely bogged down by something. But, i do sleep during seminars. This is a habit (bad one?) that i developed during my post-grad. We had a classroom with dark curtains blocking sunlight, with a projector switched on at the head of the room. We usually occupied the last row, and barely listened to what was being talked about.

I was one among the lot who drifted to sleep. The air around me was apt. My friends have taken photos and videos of me sleeping peacefully. I think they were jealous. Later on, some of us were habituated to this.

Unfortunately, this addiction of mine has continued to this day. I need to break it. I can't sit in the front row and doze in front of my guide. He's noticed me, not once, but twice. I so need to come out of it. I'm trying hard.

One day, i hope to be wide awake, soaking in everything that makes a presentation.

Inshallah!
