sleep debt

tadi pergi hospital ada replacement class. ada satu patient ni, dia patut under medical ward but masuk ortho ward sebab tak cukup katil (scenario yang biasa tengok). dia masuk ward, 3 hari lepas, tapi, takde saper yang pernah dapat clerk dia, or at least borak ngan dia.

sebab kenapa korang tanya?

sebab, semenjak dia masuk, sampai la hari ni, dia, sama PAP dia, kerja diaorang, tidur je.... siap berdengkur lagi! macam derang ni sedated ke apa. derang ni army boys. if takde procedure to be done on the patient, he'll be sleeping. if he is not eating, he is sleeping. if you leave him for a moment to attend to another matter, when you get back, he's already fast asleep. same goes to his PAP.

i guess, being in the army must have caused them to have terrible sleep deficit. according to his ticket, it says that he had one day episode or diarrhea and crampy abdominal pain, following a 4days excursion in the jungle. now he is in the ward for 3 days, and most of the time, he is sleeping. but at those odd moments that he is awake, he looks perfectly fine.

now i am thinking, is he fabricating the facts so that he can pay off all his sleep debt, by being admitted to the hospital?

when we look at the pair sleeping there with not a single care in the world, we wish it was us there. sleeping like, in their case, a log, not a baby.....

gawsh!!! their snores can be heard from a room away!
