just before i was contemplating to move back to blogger.com as tumblr’s getting real boring & the novelty is wearing off, it dawned upon me that blogger loads very slow uh. so i’m gonna stay put, at least for now. meanwhile, i shall figure out how to customize this blogskin.
i used to think that people who sleeps at 9 are boring, but now i’m envying people who can sleep at 9 cause i can’t for nuts. tried so hard and it’s already like 3.52am now. maybe because i’m hitting 20 and it made me realise that sleep is important if i don’t want to look 30.
probably i should get a new desk so that i can use my laptop on it, and not using it at bedside that is not a taboo for good sleep. okay i just realised that there is Singapore Sleep Society today. sounds interesting.
let me extract part of the text for you. i totally fall in these 2 categories ok.
If you already have difficulty falling to sleep, do not lie in bed tossing and turning indefinitely, watching the clock. If you keep doing this, your mind and body become “conditioned” to struggle with sleep every night in the same manner, and will associate the bedroom with stress and reinforce the difficulty with sleep. In order to “break” this conditioning, you should make it a point to get out of bed if you are unable to sleep within 15 to 20 minutes. You should leave the bedroom and go somewhere else to do something relaxing, such as reading, listening to music or watching TV. You should only return to bed when you are sleepy again, however long it takes. You need to develop the reverse conditioning, whereby you associate the bedroom with sleepiness and sleep, so that you will fall asleep readily when you go to bed.
Following on the above, the bedroom should ideally be a place only for sleep and sexual activity. If you have a problem with insomnia, you should not read, watch TV or work in bed. Associating the bed with other types of activities, especially if they are stimulating, will make it harder to fall asleep.
feeling hungry again. zz i should register for hot hatha classes soon. zz so many things to do but little time and yet i’m still like bumming around.
