k lah, since i self admit that i'm SOO GOOD at sleeping, let me share some tips on sleeping, esp to those who are having trouble sleeping..

First, i would like to say that I, Phyllicia - the sleepyhead too, have trouble sleeping sometimes, when stress strikes and I find myself tossing on my bed until 5am, troubled because I CAN'T FREAKING GET A GOODNIGHT SLEEP.
So, my dear friends, it's no shame, no, not at all, if you're having trouble sleeping. It's a perfectly normal human phenomenon when you're just, in 2 words, TOO STRESSED.

Okay enuff crapping, let's get to the main point.

Let me first say that sleeping is a magical + mysterious phenomenon you do in your everyday life. Sleeping is a process whereby, your body undergoes many vital functions. And without sleeping, your life is OVER. Yes I repeat, OVER. cuz if you don't sleep for 10days, you'll DIE.

did I just crap again? oh shit.
okay let's just get to the main shit, opps.
the thing about sleeping is to know WHAT NOT TO DO FIRST, cuz what you're doing UNCONCIOUSLY may be affecting your precious, priceless, beauty sleep.

WHAT NOT TO DO:
1. think too much.
- yes my friends, when you're thinking, you're overworking your exhausted brain. your brain needs its rest!! so what to do to not think too much? (refer below)
2. stressed
- yes. even though you're not thinking too much, u're still stressed and that affects your sleeping, alot. what to do then?? (refer below la~)
3. uncomfortable bed, pillows.
- get new comfy bed, pillows la!!! duh~
4. hunger.
- if you don't mind growing fat, grab something to eat. if not, drink milo/milk.

WHAT TO DO:
1. think BLANK.
-close your eyes and think of nothing. concentrate on your breathing. breathe in breathe out.
-don't try your best to think nothing. just do it naturally.
-let random pictures flew into ur mind. concentrate on seeing the random slide of pictures, but NOT thinking where those pictures come from or how you think of them.
-soon, you'll enter into the half dreamy, half awake state when you're still concious about the sounds around you, but your brain is entering into the dream state.
-so, try to ignore the sounds around you, and focus more on your dream state.

2. watch cartoons till you fall asleep
-it the above doesn't work. try this.
-cartoons don't require much thinking. they're meant to be stupid and funny. so your brain is not working hard when you're watching cartoons.
-so, watching cartoons alot makes your brain inactive.

3. read a book.
-if you're the kind that falls asleep when reading while lying down, like me, go ahead.
-grab some boring textbook and read. soon, you'll fall asleep.

4. cry?
- crying makes you exhausted. so you'll find it easy to sleep after crying. but mind you, don't cry too long.
- note: this step is not recommended as it'll cause you further emotional stress.

blah! i lazy to think..i really wanna sleep now..
so, do you find this helpful? haha..
