I have just woken up at 4.23 in the morning. Hmm.. to be precise, it was like I nearly didn't sleep at all.
To talk about the sleepless nights,
- sometimes it can be so frustrating (considering if you need to be fit early in the morning for exams or work or maybe something else and 'this' night is not the right time for not sleeping at all, but altogether it is the reason why you can't sleep) and
- sometimes it can be simply tiring but okay (considering that you are not so busy and left with no schedule at all in the following day and anyways the sleepless nights always come every now and then).
For me, it was nearly always the second type (because anyway I am still a student, not working every each day and don't really have any fixed schedule, except on the exams week).
So, what do one actually do during those sleepless nights (I believe that many of us do just the same things)?
- Hmm.. Firstly, I, myself, of course try to sleep by closing my eyes because before the 'sleeping time' of mine, I usually do some simple routines (such as brush my teeth, wash my face / take a shower, close all of the electronic devices except my phone, etc. etc.) and sure enough, I don't want to ruin my own effort to sleep.
- When closing my eyes seems too useless to do (remembering that I can't actually shut down my thoughts), I would toss and turn in bed. Well.., sometimes till I'm sick of it.
- And then, I would turn on some music from my phone.
- When it's not soothing enough, I would then scoop up my phone and start browsing something. I normally start with Twitter (looking for some worth of quotes or news from my beloved friends) and then Reuters (looking for news from worldwide). I used to play games too, but remembering that I used to lose in those phone games or any other games, it really is not my way to spend my precious sleepless night time.
- Of course, at some points, I would realise (and sometime annoyed by) the ticking voice from my clock
- and then when it feels like endless (your eyes is swollen and tired, your head feels like bursting open, but you still can't sleep although you want it most), the dawn would start to break (it's only in terms of summer; in terms of winter, I could say that it's almost of waste to wait for the breaking dawn). From that point, it's whether you really can't lie down on bed anymore, start to get up and do something or you start to doze off.
