What I'd Do When I Couldn't Sleep

Working at 8.30 in the morning doesn't do justice to my sleep pattern. Actually, there were days when I was extremely tired and I slept before the clock hits 11 pm. But that's that. I typically sleep when the day is about to hit the dawn. I know it's bad, be it for my own health or my everyday performance, etc.

I guess that explains a lot why my skin is driving me crazy! Well, I can't really help it when my crazy hormone-ridden brain sometimes just enjoys sleeping at 4-5 in the morning. Here's what I usually do when I couldn't sleep at night.

Listening to music

I don't know why this is like the perfect time for me to dig all the way back and search a bunch of my old favorites tracks. It's weird but they comfort me. You will be catching me listening to Crush by David Archuleta or even Belaian Jiwa by Innuendo! I am such an emotional wreck, I know.

Stretching

Yes, I stretch. On the bed. Ultimately, this helps me get into a deep sleep. Oh boy, lord knows the day I was running late to work. Bad day. Anyway, it helps me relax, big time. I just simply put my legs up against the wall and I will alternatively do some light leg and arm exercises.

I drink something hot

When I couldn't sleep, I always drink something hot. I grew up watching my mom always making herself a cup of coffee before she sleeps. But y'all know the drill, I cut all connection with my dearly missed, sugary drinks. The moment I sacrificed them for the better, I only take a glass of warm water with me to bed. *sigh

It would have been a glass of hot tea or hot chocolate! Anything hot, really. It could warm your body up for rest. People have said that chamomile really helps put you to sleep though. I would love to try!

Blogging/editing my blog

If this ain't the truth, I don't know what is. I will always find stuff to blog about (I'm so inspired after I changed my theme!) and what should I tweak to make my theme look nicer. The second one usually fails every time but I tried, okay?

Googling stuff

We're humans and we are always, always curious about a bunch of stuff. And I am that person that always relies on Google and I think that's alright. There was one time where I spent the night googling weird stuff like "is it safe to eat your own booger" and I know it's honestly disgusting but I was so curious.

Turns out it is safe... I know right. I am not one hundred percent sure about it, don't come at me lol. You can do your own research or read this.

I shop online

Last night, I spent a good amount of money on Sephora and it felt good. I always do my shopping late at night, I don't know why. I guess the silence calms me in choosing the items I want. That way, I won't be buying unnecessary stuff. I don't know, I just do. I'll be doing a post dedicated to it once they arrived. So can't wait!

What would you do when you couldn't sleep at night?
