“You let me in but then you slam my fingers in the door”–All love

Please…?

My body clock has gone haywire ever since the semester is done. It’s disgusting, really. Late nights spent working on projects are now replaced by late nights just trying to fall asleep. I need to get back to normal, acceptable sleeping time. To sleep at a decent hour so that I can get up at a decent hour.

I’ve always admired morning people, who by 5am are already up, out of the door, walking  in the park. and those who consistently wake up before the crack of dawn to do prayers and do productive stuff. 

Things that I’ve tried, but didn’t work:

1. Avoiding coffee during the day.

2. Getting myself physically spent, so that by night time I’m tired enough to hopefully ease into sleep. 

3. Read a boring book. 

4. Listen to slow music. 

5. Switched off the computer and shut out all lights at a decent hour.

Things that I have not tried:

1. Force myself to wake up and stay awake in the morning and throughout the day.

2. I’m not going to take sleeping pills, so forget that.

3. Avoid running late in the day. 

4. Stop thinking when trying to sleep.

I hope there’s some chance in number 1 , 3 and 4.

This blog is now kid-friendly

I was doing a little house-keeping for this blog recently and I came across a few posts that contained some expletives. These were  texts that I’ve cut and paste into the posts as excerpts. I didn’t black out the expletives. I’m really sorry about this. I’m happy to say that this blog is now curse-free and hopefully will stay so in the future. I intend to maintain an overall positive vibe for this blog.
