I woke up this morning and it’s raining. I want to curl up in my blanket… I feel sleepy, sluggish and groggy … just like the weather outside. But wait, its Tuesday, uuhh…I need to wake up, take shower, prepare breakfast for my daughter, send her to school and lastly, I need to go to the office.
On a rainy and gloomy day like this, our mood sometime is just low and sleepy. I read it in the internet that the sound of the rainfall makes us want to crash because it produce white noise that makes you do not hear a lot of outside noise, suppressing your senses and making you more tired. Our brain signal us that the sound of the pitter patter of rainfalls are non-threatening, making them very calming to hear. Furthermore, rain accompanied by a dark, gloomy or less sunlight atmosphere bring less stimulation to our brain, making us feel sleepier.
This morning,I'm alone in the office because my colleague is assigned to conduct training at the interior area. Being alone, under the cold air-conditioner makes me sleepy all over again. At time like this, all I could think of is my cozy bed.
So I make a strong coffee, on Black Pink songs and start blogging. I even on all the lights here to make it brighter because I read it somewhere that bright light makes you brain stay active.
Still, I kinda sleepy… hmm I might take a nap after this. The clock now is 7.30 AM so, I have half an hour. Yup..if the rain is making you sleepy, and no one is in the office yet, give yourself permission to enjoy the luxury of a Garfiel nap.
