Sleep, My Dear, Sleep

“Sleep, my dear. Sleep.”

“How can I sleep, when you are not sleeping?”

“The problem is I cannot sleep.”

“Why?”

“Because I simply cannot sleep. Maybe I have slept too many hours. Maybe I just have too much to think about.”

“Then, I shall sleep while you sleep with me.”

“Ok.”

*Sigh*

“I would lie down next to you and watch you sleep.”

“That should be helpful.”

*Sleep*

I was still awake. I cannot sleep tonight and this is not the first time. There were many nights that I hardly could sleep. When I finally get some sleep, I would be awake in the next 2 hours or so I thought.

What do I do when I am awake in the middle of the night?

1. I might read some blogs from my phone. Yes, I do go online on my phone.
2. I would switch on my laptop and go online to work, to read, to write or simply to browse through stuff.
3. I would lie in the bed closing my eyes and start to fantasise about all sorts of things.
4. I would browse the internet while nibbling on something. Chocolate or biscuits.

How to sleep better?

This is what I have found through my research.

1. Sleep according to schedule. I wish I could do that but unfortunately I have a very weird sleeping schedule.
2. Self hypnosis. I guess this is also similar to fantasising.
3. Look out the food and drinks before sleep. Oh yeah, I would be eating stuff before sleeping but no caffeine whatsoever.
4. Dark room. Yeah, I am in a dark room every night.
5. Exercise. Ugh, I hate this. I have been doing all the housework all day, I guess that would be the same.
6. The doctor (if everything else fails). This is not for me, definitely. I hate going to the doctor. Is there any special method you use to fall asleep? Alright, going to catch some sleep now. Maybe not.
