It’s when I am asleep that I lose track of time. Upon awakening, be at an hour, two, five, ten, or even more hours later – but to me is time which in a conscious sense, has passed me by.

I confess that in all wakeful situations, I tend to be conscious of time and time that is the lapsing time spent on whatever activity be it at work or leisure and time left before it’s time to move on.

But sleep – which I need and like – is certainly time that escapes my consciousness.
