No one can cheat nature; you will sleep, whether you like it or not. I'm this kind of person who finds it so hard to sleep. But when I do, I appreciate it. We all set alarms for certain reasons. Well, most of the time, people set alarms not to sleep off; they set alarms to wake up on time and do the task they want to do on time.
Believe me, if the alarm could talk, it would have fought with a lot of people. We have abused alarm to the extent that if it could talk to us on or one, it would challenge us for a fight.
At some point, I looked at it to see if we weren't disturbing alarms because some people will set the alarm to wake them at a particular time and will end up sleeping over the time. When they wake up, they start saying negative words, saying that their alarm is stupid enough not to wake them up.
Sometimes we forget that we cannot even cheat nature, and when we are extremely tired, it's better to sleep and not set the alarm to wake us up. There's this particular incident that happened last month.
Everyone in my hostel is a night worker; we have people who work online during the night, and so on. In my hostel, we have tech enthusiasts who wake up in the middle of the night and work. I'm part of them; I set alarms for things like the Zealy campaign. For instance, yesterday there was a space I needed to attend by 2 AM. I had to set an alarm for it. It was this alarm that woke me up. At some point, I was sleeping off, but then my friends called me on the phone to know if I was really awake. When I'm really tired, I don't set an alarm, unlike my friends, who will set an alarm for every 10 minutes and still not wake up until the day breaks.
There was a time alarm that disappointed me. Well, I should not say that. Let me say that I cheated nature, and nature bounced back on me. During my examinations in school, there was a day I set an alarm and never woke until daybreak. I felt extremely disappointed. But then I realized that I've not been sleeping for days, and there's no way I can escape that.
But truly, if the alarm could talk or fight, it would have beaten a lot of people who misused the alarm and still blamed the alarm for not doing its job. Well, I set an alarm for a reminder during the day break when I needed to do a particular task.
