Trip the Light Fantastic

Well, it's almost 3 in the morning, and I'm reading an e-book called "How To Sleep Less and Have More Energy than You Ever Had Before".

Lately, I've been complaining to my friend sctc that I'm getting to be an insomniac. I want to sleep, but I can't seem to sleep until it's past 3AM. By 1AM I plop my head down on my pillow, and toss and turn in bed...and toss and turn...and toss and turn. And bam, it's 3AM. Now that's a terrible way to live, especially if I plan to wake up two hours later at 5AM to go rowing (which I don't get to do much these days...insomniac nga e)

So sctc gives me this e-book to help me get a good night's sleep. Ako naman, I'm touched. So here I am at 3AM, and I decide to read the book, who knows, maybe it'll really help.

Now...let's just glance through the 70-page book first... and here we are on page 45, "Poor Bed Associations"...

Often when people can't sleep they try reading a book or watching TV in bed to induce sleepiness, these actions actually make insomnia even worse. Not only does watching TV keep your conscious mind awake and racing, it anchors feelings of wakefulness to your bed. This gets your mind to associate that your bed is a place where you “think,” not sleep...

Avoid using your bedroom as an office, a workout room, or a storage area. Stay off your bed during the day, don't lie on the bed when you're talking on the phone, use your bed only for sleeping or sex.

Ayus. Kaya pala hindi ako makatulog...improper use of bed ako. Haha.

P.S. -- And another thing...obviously hindi catholic ang nagsulat nito kasi kung hindi sasabihin nya, "use your bed only for sleeping and procreation". wala lang.
