the entry on the perils of insomnia

dang, the clock reads 5:35 am, and i am still keeping a vigil for my sleeplessness. i abhor not being able to sleep during the earthly hours and the aftereffects of it. driving around trawling for supper would be but one of the devastating outcomes. the others, i care less not to mention right now. 

anyhoo, here's a picture of me wide awake (save for my teeny eyes) after a lavish post-midnight, pre-dawn meal, imploring my lucky stars for an early night after this. 


tired much, but just not sleepy...

Supper = Paunch :P

(chronos) tell me about it. i have resorted to all forms of therapy, sleep hypnosis, warm milk, sheep counting, 'cept death by asphyxiation. i definitely need my stilnox!

(ck) 8 hours into the night after dinner, i am pretty sure you will have worked up an appetite too. paunch is of secondary importance already at this time. =]

(lcfu) you mean pre-chinese-new-year don't you? anyways, i am not married, so as much as i would like to, i can't give it to you, hehe.

(anon) does that mean that i have to be perpetually tired to have the cute look?

(z) at six in the morning? maybe a hot water bath. will try that in future. thanks z!

p.s. your nick very apt for sleeping .. ie. zzzzz,,, >.<

yah yah totally agree with anon.. love ur sleepy eyes!!! I see you have company 4 ur late nites?? Perhaps try to distance urself fr them? Cos no company means no activities means more sleep!! Its a habitual thing lah... have you tried meditation? Good for calming down and focusing your mind too!

Z said...

hahaha the idea behind it was the more tired u are the more sleepy u become?

yeah I'm a big fan of sleeping
I tot my dad kinda predicted it before I was born
lolx

anyway good luck in trying to sleep!

des, sorry to know that you are having sleeping problem. I used to have it for about a year.

sleep hypnosis, warm milk, sheep counting… and more that didn’t help me at all. My problem was I kept thinking of something. Mentally I was not able to rest and calm down.

So, you need to know the root cause and solve it.

Happy Chinese New Year

lol. u need to dance and get sleepy... and i mean dance alot...

i saw u just now at the club. but i shy lol..

iruffcookiedough said...

(minimach) your theory sounds quite practical, but then again, the lure of the night life is pretty enticing. i will try to heed your advice then again. =] thanks!

(z) i sure hope the warm bath remedy might help to a certain extent, but as evident by the timing of this reply, i am still widely awake! yikes!

(no name) i am pretty much in the same boat as you are, that explains why we have sleepless in singapore nights. i think we have to figure out what bugs out and try to eradicate that problem, no?

(kp) i think i did dance, but i still am pretty much awake, sigh..... you should have came up to say hi. =]

Ok, do like a million push-ups or something... and collapse into coma. Hope it helps lol

kOoKy pLuM said...

u danced alright lol..

i very shy and also was drunk... shy + drunk not a very good combo... i'll surely say hi the next time i see ya ;P

Anonymous said...

yes, u are right. we must try to eradicate that problem. it can be one of our new year resolutions. good luck to us.

the trick abt sleeping is to try NOT to sleep. The mind is a sadist - the more you deprived it of something, the more intense the craving.

Anonymous: you crazeh.... but it worked for me sometimes lol

fufu said...

hihihi, i mean give all your angpows to me =D ok ok j/k... anyway may you have a prosperous chinese new year ya, gong xi fa cai~

iruffcookiedough said...

(mundane) a million push ups???? i would have lost count by the time i reach ten already.

(kp) i always tot that being drunk gives one the extra edge to go all the way out? haha, so i presume you have to be sober to say hi then.

(no name) and also good luck to my insurance business too, while we are at it . hehe

iruffcookiedough said...

(anonymous) haha, a bit twisted, but i cannot subscribe to that. my eye bag's getting bigger and i am not one to subject it to further expansions. maybe sleeping pills? stilnox much?

(lcfu) GXFC to you too!!! blog more in english ok?

lol. Supper = paunch. Breakfast not = paunch. So, let's call it early breakfast instead.

This is a first for me, but here goes:

Happy Chinese New Year! May your new year be full of peaceful and uninterrupted sleeps and may you always wake up refreshed, full of energy and eyebag-less.

kOoKy pLuM said...
