Ah !!! Sleep at last
Last night was a night after years that I slept for straight six hours. Yes, for me it’s a big thing.
You see, I have been a light sleeper since childhood and as I am aging, I find it difficult to sleep before two or three in the morning.
I have tried almost every trick, I.e., reading a book, listening to soothing music or some special megahertz’s music, putting away my phone, counting reverse, practically every thing. I don’t want to take sleeping pills though sometimes I make camomile tea which also doesn’t help.
It’s not that I don’t want to sleep. The moment I feel drowsy, I go to bed. But to lie in bed and not able to sleep is something I can’t.
I have been advised the long term side effects of less sleep on my mental and physical health but so far after sleeping for 4-5 hours for several years, I am still mentally alert and physically active. Yes, I have started taking a little nap in the afternoon now so I guess that compensates for my lack of sleep. Even if I don’t take a nap, I still can’t sleep before 2.
So last night after finishing a movie, I felt drowsy and went to sleep without wasting a moment. For me, sleeping around midnight was early and I slept till six in the morning. I tried sleeping a little more but couldn’t so came down and here I am writing my blog early in the morning.
How long do you sleep ? Do you have any tips for sleeping early? Do write to me. I’d love that.
Stay healthy and happy
So be it !!!
