SAED

PLEASE, CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY SLEEP HITS DIFFERENT DURING SAED LECTURES? 😭😂

Because somebody needs to explain how the same person who cannot sleep in the hostel because somebody is whispering can comfortably sleep during SAED training with over 500 corpers making noise.

Like, are we normal in this camp? 😭😂

In the hostel, ordinary nylon sound will wake you up. Somebody will just cough, and you’ll start shouting, “Please, can you people keep quiet? Some of us are trying to sleep!”

But take that same person to SAED, put them on a hard plastic chair, under a hot canopy, with somebody speaking through a microphone, and within five minutes, they’re sleeping like a newborn baby.

No pillow, no mattress, no fan, nothing!

Some people will even bend their necks in positions that should require medical attention, yet they’re sleeping peacefully. 😭

And the funniest part? The moment the facilitator announces a five-minute break, everybody suddenly wakes up.

Please, what kind of sleeping talent is this? 😂

Because at this point, if you haven’t slept properly for three days, just find yourself a seat during SAED. Your body might finally remember how to rest. 😭😂

And mind you, the facilitators are actually trying their best. It’s just that some of us are fighting battles with sleep that we clearly cannot win.

Because how can somebody who cannot sleep on a comfortable mattress suddenly become a professional sleeper on a plastic chair?

Please, my fellow corpers, is it just me, or does sleep become ten times sweeter the moment SAED lectures begin? Because some of you have slept more during SAED than you’ve slept in your hostels since day one! 😭😂
