What am i doing online on such unearthly hours on a weekday? Before i continue, i'll define my use of today and yesterday. Today starts when i wake up and yesterday ends when i go to bed. So there's no need to go into technical details of whether 12am is today or yesterday.

I think i slept a little too much in the afternoon today, and i can't fall asleep now. Been tossing and turning in my bed for one hour already. I can only begin to imagine the determination of a couple of my friends who suffer occasional insomnia. They would lie in their bed for hours and on, unable to get to sleep, but content to continue tossing and turning.

Plenty of thoughts are running through my head. So much so that i'm getting a headache now. But then again, i always get headaches when i lose sleep. I still remember days in Gippy when i get flu due to both spring season and lack of sleep. The flu, at times become so serious, it introduces a dull throb to the head, which in turn resulted in more lack of sleep. Well.. panadol works wonders, whether as placebo or painkillers.

Often, i get friends who complain to me of insomnia. With so much information regarding insomnia on the internet, it does come as a surprise when they complain. Surely if they couldn't sleep, they could atleast get a good read : D The problem with sleeping problems is that whenever i point out the slight seemingly inconsequential stuff that might in effect be causing the loss of sleep, it gets dismissed.

One example could go like :
"Maybe its the night light?"
"But i always sleep with night lights."
Maybe that's why u get insomnia nine out of ten nights, duh! It is especially frustrating when u explain that they could be hungry and they announce that they are on a diet.

Yes dieting, it gets on my nerves whenever i hear it. However thin a girl is, she'll say that she's fat... somewhere. I don't know, maybe the fats got to her brain or something. Oh which in turns mean she is correct in claiming to be fat somewhere, by having a fat brain.

Or maybe i'm losing sleep because it's valentine's day. I did some googling on keywords, "valentine" and "depression". Apparently, there isn't any study that concludes that people get depression on valentine's day. But i found that daylight savings could actually cause depression, by having fewer daylight hours. Which kind of explains why numerous friends are depressed when they go over to Gippy initially. I always thought they were running away from families, boyfriends or girlfriends. Obtw, no, i'm not feeling depressed nor am i depressed. I'm just bored and curious.

Henceforth, I shall not take long naps in the afternoon. Oh wait... i think i made such a proclaimation before. Hmm... I think i'll rephrase that so i won't go back on my own words again. Henceforth, I shall not take long naps in the afternoon until my next long afternoon nap. Okie, that seems to carry as much weight as pigs mooing. Huh what? Pigs don't moo? Oh well... i need sleep anyway.
