Its hilarious to say that I have this bad habit of trying to sleep so badly until my eyes got tired of closing and I have to open my eyes to rest em. Its crazy but well, I guess I’m just to desperate to get some sleep.

Hahaha, for some reason, when I started reading this, I told myself that you are up in the early hours of the morning.
Sometimes when I find that the harder you try to fall asleep quickly the worse it is.
I would read till my eyes shut but am woken up again when I have to turn off my bedside light. Thankfully, I don’t have many of this sleepless nights.

Now it’s not that bad already. I think it’s borderline insomnia and sleeping disorder. Haha.

DM
Thank you! My day is looking better already!

yenjai
Lucky you!

Flora & Henry
Thank you! I’m in Auckland, no snow here, but still cold.

Nonnie
Yea, I’ve heard of that too. Some kind of projecting your future exercise. Unfortunately if I do that, my imagination runs wild and it’s hard to tame it. Haha.

KC
OH!!! You have just made my day (let’s make it week!) again! That really means a lot to me KC. Thank you so much!!

It’s nice to know there’s someone on the same boat as I am. Well, sleepless boat that is. Haha. I was almost going to turn to sleeping pills when I discover aroma therapy. Now I just use Lavender oil in a vaporizer at night. It really helps to ease my mind and put me to sleep easier. You should try it sometimes, it’s very relaxing! Ofcourse, you have to get the 100% pure oil, the fragrance one won’t do.

I’ve installed firefox, and can finally view your blog again! Ah! The things i do for you, CC, because i love your postings and miss them when i can’t see your blog! *grin*
anyway, i gues that’s the last of IE then. Thanks for turning me onto Firefox. If it wasn’t for you, i would NEVER have bothered! )

That cartoon with the hours counting down is soooo me! And i too have a restless mind like yours. What d’ya know! Guess you and me used to be a lot alike!! Hope that doesn’t make you too unhappy!

Anyway, i’ve tried a lot of sleeping pills to black out, with doctor’s prescriptions of course. It helps that the Drs. who presecribe my pills for me are class mates and friends of mine, with whom i went to school, so they i get free counselling at home. *grin* Xanax does a great job for me. I recommend it for those desperate times. And if you take it under a physician’s supervision, they make sure you don’t get addicted.

I can already tell you are going to say that’s not your style. Just wanted to let you know how i’m dealing….*lol* That’s why i say “used to be alike”. I would too. *grin*

They say it’s good to imagine what your want your life to be before you sleep.

Just lie down on the bed, close your eyes and think all you can.

And that’s how I rest my restless mind.

Hey, thanks for dropping by my blog. Nice to know there’s someone like me in the snowy land. Perhaps you can try to bloat yourself before going to sleep, hehe.

Nice blog!

I am one of those who fall into deep slumber within 5 minutes (or ever 3 minutes)

cc,
I’m just like you. I always can’t have a straight-away-shut-my-eyes sleep. I’ll toss here and there for an hour or so before I can really rest. Sometimes, worse, my mind is so active till the next morning. *Sigh* Is that what we call, “insomnia”?

Hope you’ll have sound sleeps nowadays.
