Guling Awareness Day #Thanksguling

Kemaren @indoprobs (yang lalu didukung oleh @indooverseas) bikin Guling Awareness Day yang akan disebut dengan Thanksguling. Thanksguling Day bakalan jadi tradisi yang diperingati setiap hari Rabu terakhir di bulan Januari.

Ngomong-ngomong guling, siapa sih anak Indonesia yang tidurnya nggak pernah pake guling? Anak Indonesia sama guling itu udah kayak air putih sama gelas. Mereka saling melengkapi, kayak gelas yang mendekap air, anak Indonesia mendekap guling. Pokoknya guling itu nomer satu deh, nggak pake bantal gapapa asal ada guling.

Kenapa anak Indonesia (baca: gue) ga bisa lepas dari guling?

Karena waktu kecil kita tidurnya satu kasur sama ayah dan ibu dan kalo malem pasti dikelonin. Kalau nggak dikelonin (atau selain dikelonin), kita pasti pas tidur meluk ayah atau ibu kita deh. Entah tangannya, jarinya, apa aja pasti ada yang kita pegang.

Begitu udah gede, nggak ada lagi kan yang bersedia ngelonin kita kalo mau tidur? Biar mandiri. Pacar nggak punya, lagian juga mana boleh, kan saru. Tapi sebenernya kita juga ga mandiri-mandiri amat sih, karena ada guling tadi. Guling yang selalu siap dipeluk, dikelon, dan di jelimet-jelimetin kalo lagi gejolak hormon (maksudnya PMS).

Selain itu, memeluk seseorang (atau dalam hal ini, sesuatu) itu sehat. Menurut riset yang pernah gue baca, setiap lo memeluk, otot lo yang tegang akan jadi lemas, memperkuat sistem pertahanan tubuh, dan meningkatkan oxytocin levels yang bisa menringankan perasaan depresi, sendiri/isolasi, dan kemarahan.

Jadi, agak terjawab kenapa setiap anak Indonesia (lagi, gue) tidur pake guling, kualitas tidur gue pasti lebih bagus dan pas bangun pasti perasaannya bisa lebih lega dan lebih segar. Tak lain tak bukan, karena gue baru aja menghabiskan sekitar 8 jam meluk guling.

Dan lagi, guling adalah yang paling setia. Dari dulu kalo marah, sedih, atau bahagia sekalipun pasti ada luapan-luapan emosi yang akan dilakukan secara private dikamar. Gimana caranya? Antara joget-joget sendiri, nggemes sendiri, atau meluk guling. Apalagi kalo lagi sedih. Isinya kan pasti cuman masuk kamar, dengerin lagu menye sambil meluk guling toh?

Kalo nangis, yang nyerep air matanya siapa?
Guling.

Kalo marah, yang dipukulin siapa?
Guling.

Gulingnya diem aja, tetep nemenin lo nangis, tetep nerima aja lo pukul-pukulin. Abis itu, gulingnya tetep terima-terima aja lo peluk sehabis lo capek nangis dan marah-marah pas akhirnya lo ketiduran.

Dan inilah alasan-alasan kenapa guling itu penting buat gue.

Happy Belated Thanksguling Day! #GulingAwarenessDay

Sleeping Habit

One thing I seriously need to change is my sleeping habit. And I have a few reasons to support this campaign:

1. It is not healthy for me.

I am a person who love sleeping. I can sleep for 12 hours a day (once I slept for 14 hours). I just love sleeping, especially sleeping late and wake up really really late (like noon to early afternoon-ish). I know it's not a good thing, it's a bad habit, it's bad for my health. I need to stop doing it. 

2. I wake up tired.

Yes. Believe it or not, sleeping late and waking up late will make you tired when you wake up. You can argue that you sleep for 8 hours or 12 hours but that really does not matter. You will wake up tired and it still feels like you only slept for a few hours instead of that 12 hours. I do every time. (which would be everyday on break like this)

3. It changes my biological clock

It feels so good, yet so bad. You won't get things done except if you force yourself, which is really hard, not gonna lie. It then may sucks you into the complicated feeling of I-hate-myself-why-am-I-so-lazy combined with it-feels-so-good-to-sleep and I-love-my-bed

4. My neighbour is having romantic time at ridiculous hours.

"OMG Sis, it's so not a big deal stop exaggerating it!"OH NO. NU UH. You have no idea, no idea at all what I went through (except if you did go through the same thing). It is really annoying and you're tired, cranky and trying to get some sleep at 3 in the morning. I put my earphones in, I knocked on the wall (wall is pretty thin) and walked around the corridor. I DID THINGS okay. (I'm not being mean, I'm just annoyed, so so annoyed)

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SAY TO MY NEIGHBOUR

So there you go, there are a few reasons why I need to change my biological clock. I hope I'll succeed. But tell me guys, what keeps you from sleeping early? Rave in the comments below about your sleeping habit so I can feel somewhat-normal :)
