World Cup blues
World Cup Blues. Less than a week into the World Cup, football fans from India are showing symptoms of weariness.
Less than a week into the World Cup, football fans from India are showing symptoms of weariness. No, it’s definitely not because of the action on the field but due to the timings at which the matches are being broadcast. Most of the matches extend upto 5:30am in India. It’s been noticed that school students and office executives are taking a nap during their ‘active’ schedule.
The next day, the discussion at the breakfast table of the family was the odd hours at which the matches were being broadcast.
It is more like a disease where people adhere to their televisions at odd hours and not get enough sleep. There is a potential rise of cases were in people crazy about the sport may take fraudulent sick leaves from work and the same applies to students. The time difference will make sleep a casualty for football fans. Watch out for those yawns, red TV glazed eyes and lack of attention and concentration at work.
