Headache is a pain...Its true....!

I used to always wonder why people suffer from imsonia. I finally understood what is insomnia today. Although i am far from being insomniac, spells of discomforted sleep yesterday, which are as good as insomniac experiences, are making me write this blog.

All of this happened yesterday. I was not able to sleep all night. The temperature of the city added fuel to my discomfort. Moving from one room to another to find some peace, i remained awake all through the night. Thoughts of me passing out kept kept coming back to me. Were these the signs of a heat stroke. I did not know. I kept wondering. In the mean while i kept hydrating myself. In the last two days, i was out all day giving no rest to my body. This took a toll on me. I suffered from a severe headache today morning. I intimated my boss of my absence in the office and slept through. i had survived the scare of dying. I had passed one scary night.

I know that i am making a little big deal of it. But this had never happened, ever, to such a level. After waking up i was still dizzy with light pain lingering on my head. I took a pain killer and decided to rest more. But before that i exchanged my bro's number (In Case of Emergency number, ICE) with my roomie and slept again. Imagine what i must be going through to exchange such a number, suddenly. He repeatedly kept asking why i was doing so. I kept settling down the whole discussion by just avoiding it.

Through the whole day i kept wondering what was bothering me so much that i was attacked by so much pain. Was it the work pressure at office, the boss's expectations of me or my own expectations to perform better. I guessed it to be all. Apart from these, the studies are looming large in my face. The pressure of short preparation time before the exam has started to show its ugly face on my health. All this made me realise what my dad used to tell me when i was young. That is to rest as much as i could and not abuse the body. Eat healthy and stay fit.

I have understood this advice thoroughly and made up my mind to rest periodically and not abuse my body to this great extent and take up some physical exercise to keep up with the stress levels at work.
