There are ways to go about trying to sleep when it’s sleeping time. But sometimes these things never go the way you expect them too.
Example A - Counting sheeps when you can’t sleep.
Ok, so I tried this method. They say it makes you get tired from the counting and your eyes get all droopy and then you head off to the land of sleep. So I tried this fluffy animal counting thing….but you see…when all my sheeps have jumped over the wooden fence…I’m wondering if the sheeps really do jump over the fence. And if they do, can i go watch it.
Clearly Example A is whack
Example B - Emptying out your mind
Now this is really interesting. Shoving out all thoughts from the mind, thus leaving one’s mind empty. Now, I’ll be honest…it is quite difficult for me. It’s really not that I enjoy these thinking sessions or I want it to be this way…But this is what I do. Now you need to picture exactly what I’m doing… I imagine a tiny me walking up in my brain/mind. Tiny me has a white blanket that covers the brain/mind. This would mean I’m covering all these thoughts, therefore making them vanish. Now tiny me that is inside the brain/mind is thinking she’s doing a pretty good job. So she lays down on this blanket. Now what happens is that when thoughts are vanished, tiny me inside brain/mind is chilling instead of sleeping and this leaves me to wonder why the fuck am I using a blanket.
Example B - is clearly too complicated.
Example C - Trying cough mixture or sleeping pills.
This whole pill trying thing was introduced to me by CFB. She gave me a couple of Valium(?) I’m not so sure. Now the unfortunate thing is when pill is taken, I’m suddenly hooked onto them and therefore resulting me in needing these things to sleep. Now that’s no good. I don’t want to be addicted or anything. But strangely, even when I’ve increase this dosage, sleep still does not come.
Example C - Help me
Example D - Try drinking a glass of warm milk.
A glass of warm milk makes tummy all warm and cosy, thus enabling you to sleep like a baby. For Sharkbait, what happens is I tend to need to go take a crap every fricking 10 minutes.
Example D - Milk=shit
Example E - Listen to soft music and it will lull you to sleep.
Ahh…this one is tricky. What happens when a song you know comes on and you start wanting to sing along. SLEEP DOES NOT COME! There is no lulling of such. It’s usually…”Whoaa..cool song. i gotta go download this”
Example E - Great way to increase your play list on the computer.
Example F - Read a book and your eyes will get tired.
It’s all lies. It does not help. I will finish the book and then I will think about the characters in the book and then I will remind myself that I need to discuss this with CFB or LMM. And then I want to read another book because since I’m not sleepy, I might as well.
Example F - Oprah’s book list ROCKS!
*Note: Please understand that I’m still wide awake. I’m running a little high on the tiredness. And I need to pee real badly. So this entry might sound I’m loco. But I think the reason as to why I am unable to sleep is because the weather is hot. Actually I don’t know. I was just saying for fun. I’m going to try again. And if sleep does not come, looks like my folks are going to be so happy with me for doing the chores at 6 in the fricking morning!! Ah well…it could be worse, it could be better.
