I used to sleep in the bus while travelling. Thought that wasn't productive, so started staying up a bit more and more, to catch up on my office emails, news etc.
Then I got addicted to my phone. Music, Facebook, flipboard - I had to be connected. To the extent that if I was sleeping, and my sleep broke for a minute, I'd reach for the phone to check something online!
And so I decided to give my brain some peace. No bombardment of music or news or any information. Just nature as I travelled through some of the greenest parts of Mumbai (Aarey).
And now I may or may not sleep. But my mind is free to figure out what to notice. Birds, colors, sun. Or random thoughts of things for me to do. And maybe one day, my brain will learn again to do nothing, for a little while.
And I shall snooze :).
