Lately, I seem to be having trouble sleeping as a result of my overactive mind. This is the result of spending too much time in front of the computer, and thinking too much about earning online, now that I have experienced that it is possible. Whenever I do sleep, it’s only to find myself waking up some 30 minutes later. Much to my irritation.
I guess this is a case of insomnia, though perhaps for a different reason than the usual.
If I just analyze things, I’d say it’s because my body is not tired, but my eyes are. It’s because I’m just sitting in front of the computer for hours, without moving around much. It’s because I still have so much energy in me, waiting to be released. So much energy is making me restless.
Is it possible at all to just work 24 hours a day? Well, yes, it is. But not for a sustained period. Based on something I’ve read before, going 7 days without sleep is a sure way to kill yourself. Much like going 7 days without water will certainly kill you. Thus, sleep is as important as water. Probably. It’s okay to not have sleep every now and then, as it is okay to be thirsty every now and then. But going without sleep for a sustained duration will put much stress in the body.
So maybe knowing that actually makes this insomnia worse? This is a case of how not knowing something can actually be beneficial. Knowledge can sometimes cause unnecessary worry.
But oh, this post is actually sounding too negative. So let’s look at the bright side. One technique that works for me so I can fall asleep is to not close my eyes. To just open them in the dark. And then I just sort of challenge myself, to know of the last thing I’m thinking about before I fall asleep.
The next thing I know, it’s usually already morning. Except for when I’m really restless from just sitting the whole day.
Anyway, it’s 1:03am now, and I’ve got a biological clock to reset. So, goodnight! See you again tomorrow!
