Using insomnia smartly: a case of some 6 successful people
Some people thinks less sleep is a disease yet numerous successful people in this world use it smartly as an opportunity. It is a common perception that both Z A Bhutto and Shahbaz Sharief were/are insomniac yet both used/use it smartly. Lust for power or money or knowledge or sex or any other thing may lead to insomniac situation yet before analyzing such people we have to know the difference between lust and passion. {What is the difference between someone who sleeps for 10-12 hours a day to someone who sleeps for 4 hours a day? According to some, the latter is more likely to be a successful entrepreneur or a scientist or a philanthropic leader. While scientist like Thomas Edison who preferred to sleep three hours in a day, declared sleeping as “a heritage from cave days”}
Interestingly Urdu translation of insomnia is misleading while its Punjabi translation is up to the mark. According to English Urdu dictionary of Urdu Language Authority its meaning is "dreamless" or "bay-khwabi" yet in Punjabi its translation is Jug-rata means the one who do not sleep or has less sleep. The word is also present in Sardar Muhammad Khan' famous Punjabi Urdu Dictionary. It is a co-production by Sachal Studios & Punjabi Adbi Board lhore. Unfortunately, Urdu/Hindi modern intellectuals have a common habit of not using the words from the mother tongues of subcontinent. They love to include terminologies from English in their languages yet they have a common reservation against the mother tongues of the area like Punjabi Bengali pasto, Maharashtran, Tamil , Sindhi etc. It is a modern practice and a product of colonial India , for reference you can check poetries of Bhagat Kabier, Ameer Khusro till Wali Dakhni yet from colonial times puritanism killed diversity, a case which needs your attention.Anyway, u just see the list of 6 people who use the skill of insomnia smartly in their lives. it includes people like Barak Obama, the US president who sleeps for 6 hours ( from 1 am till 7 am), Helena Morrissey CEO of Newton Investment Management who is mother of 9 children.
