Sleep
I’ve been trying to get some sleep last few days but I failed to squeeze out more than 4 hours a day. I don’t know why. I just can’t. It’s my body that’s resistant to sleep. My mind tells me I need to sleep more, but my body feels otherwise. One day I woke up in the middle of night for no apparent reason. I involuntarily opened my eyes and couldn’t relax. I would just like to get enough to function normally the next day - normally as in not feeling groggy in the morning.
As this ongoing fight against insomnia continued, I traced the cause of this sleep deprivation. I realized that it started when I moved to this new place about a couple of months ago. I have no idea why it started about the same time I moved but one guess is that my mind is probably having a hard time getting used to the new surroundings, getting adjusted to its ambience. Even then, it’s been two months. It normally takes about a month to get fully acclimated to new surroundings. I don’t even remember if I ever had this problem in my previous place. I doubt I did. I probably didn’t if I can remember it right now.
I even tried to do some light work out before going to bed, to no avail. Maybe I just need to relax. Or maybe a few minutes of meditation would do the job. I don’t know. I heard from my friends that there are some teas that make you relax, slipping you into sleep. I’ll probably try that.
In the mean time, I can only hope tonight is better than the last night.
