God, I've to wake up!
The clock showed 0509. "Good, the train needs 31 more minutes to reach the station and I can sleep for another 20 minutes", I thought. After what seemed a 2 minutes, the clock said it was 0525. I decided to help myself by another three minutes. It was only when the old man in the side lower berth started picking all his luggage, (after turning the lights ON) did I realise that the time was 0600 and that, the train was running late by 20 minutes. I started admiring the old man's discipline of waking up early, helping his wife pack her stuff and this and that. I also knew I was forgetting something. When everybody else started doing the same did I realise, if I don't do the same, I wouldn't be able to get down at the station I want to!

Reminded me of the song I have confidence in confidence from Sound of music. The lines they remind me of are:
Strength doesn't lie in numbers
Strength doesn't lie in wealth
Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers
When you wake up -- Wake Up! :)
Sleepyface indeed
