It is time for me to study Sanskrit. But I had a sleepless night yesterday. I'm feeling lazy. I don't know why I did not have a sound sleep last night.
Usually I fall fast asleep minutes after lying on my bed. But last night a thought sneaked into my mind and I got badly disturbed.
I began thinking about my parents and my sister who is no more. The memory of my younger sister filled my heart with grief. I was missing her badly.
I could hardly sleep for just one and a half hour.
Now I'm feeling lazy and sleepy and also afraid if I'm going to have another sleepless night.

Missing family members or friends who have passed away is natural. Try not to think about it if you can. I hope you can sleep tonight without dwelling on thoughts of your sister.

Thanks. Yes; I had a very refreshing sleep last night. I always miss my departed sister; but last night this affliction went beyond my control and I spent the whole night changing sides.There were no tears in my eyes; but my heart was crying

@Shivram59 You're welcome.
Believe me, I've lost a sister, 13 brothers and 1 son. I understand.
I will always listen if you feel the need to talk.

Fortunately I had a very sound sleep last night . However I did not let any disturbing thoughts enter into my mind. I slept as usual.

I was very restless that night. I spent the whole night changing sides. Sleep was elusive and I was unable to think of anything else other than my departed sister.I have never had such a night before

@shivram59 Sleeplessness is a terrible affliction.

You are right. And if you are missing your near and dear ones who are no more; this affliction turns even more painful.
