                Recovering the sleep debt………

                We  went  to  bank  when  Div  returned  from  school.  Previous

               night  she  was  awake  late  for  project  work,  so  possibly  fallen
               sleep immediately in school uniform.


                Home  was  locked  from  inside.  Rang  bell  repeatedly,  tried
               unsuccessfully  contacting  her  over  mobile.  In  desperation
               trespassed neighbor‟s roof and jumped in backyard


                Found  Div  sleeping  innocently  with  mesh  door  locked  from
               inside.  Hailing  her  name,  she  woke  up  confused  and  opened

               the door while feeling sorry for episode.

                It‟s  common  for  teenagers  to  develop  inconsistent  sleep

               schedules  during  school  weeks  and  Div  slept  basically  to
               recover the sleep debt she accrued the previous night.
