Deep fried.

I had a long tiring day... i woke up late... but surprisingly i managed to wash my hair and still get to the 

bus stop in time for the bus. Lecture was boring, i was literally nodding away. I tried not to, but oh boy..

I am exhausted ( still having sleepless nights). And i had an hours' break, so i went to the library.

Nothing caught my eyes so i just picked up the newspaper.. and i came across this article about insomnia, written by a freelance writer. I always loved her articles, always witty and funny.

Well, apparently i have chronic insomnia... hahaha 

Causes of chronic insomnia include:

• Depression and/or anxiety.
• Chronic stress.
• Pain or discomfort at night.

Symptoms of Insomnia

Symptoms of insomnia can include:

• Sleepiness during the day.
• General tiredness.
• Irritability.
• Problems with concentration or memory.

Diagnosing Insomnia

If you think you have insomnia, talk to your health care provider. An evaluation may include a physical exam, a medical history, and a sleep history. You may be asked to keep a sleep diary for a week or two, keeping track of your sleep patterns and how you feel during the day. Your health care provider may want to interview your bed partner about the quantity and quality of your sleep. In some cases, you may be referred to a sleep center for special tests.

Treatment for Insomnia

Acute insomnia may not require treatment. Mild insomnia often can be prevented or cured by practicing good sleep habits (see below). If your insomnia makes it hard for you to function during the day because you are sleepy and tired, your health care provider may prescribe sleeping pills for a limited time. Rapid onset, short-acting drugs can help you avoid effects such as drowsiness the following day. Avoid using over-the-counter sleeping pills for insomnia since they may have undesired side effects and tend to lose their effectiveness over time.

Treatment for chronic insomnia includes first treating any underlying conditions or health problems that are causing the insomnia. If insomnia continues, your health care provider may suggest behavioral therapy. Behavioral approaches help you to change behaviors that may worsen insomnia and to learn new behaviors to promote sleep. Techniques such as relaxation exercises, sleep restriction therapy, and reconditioning may be useful.

What- so i am depressed? I have anxiety? Chronic stress? No way.. Hahaha, i am quite certain i have non of these, maybe just a little heart issues.. But it will go away soon, i will make it go away. I hate being on sleeping pills, because 8 hours is never enough.. it makes me groggy the next day..

After reading that article, i left for my tutorial class... i totally forgot that we're having replacement class today.. So Today i will be have a 4.5 hours tutorial class.. Man... My brains were going to get deep fried...

But no.. the class turned out ok.. but she was the most long winded tutor i have ever met.. she repeated the answer 3 times for every question.. I'm like " OK, WE GET YOU ". My brains are still functioning perfectly well, but something got fried. My KNEES GOT FRIED. LIKE GOT FRIED AT 1000 DEGREES WITHOUT OIL.

Man, that class was freezing cold.. and after 4.5 hours... my knees hurt really bad. I wanted to cry. Not again!!!!.... It hurt so much i just went home and just lay down on my bed for hours.. Not to mention, i was trying to sleep.

Maybe that article was right, and maybe i do have something that is really bugging me- but what? I would like to know to. Is there something in there, heart- are you ok? The article mentioned that we have to let go and forgive ourselves and bla bla bla.... aaahhhh. Maybe i am so distracted by the fact i am already picturing myself in that holiday destination.. green fields, blue skies, beautiful people and just me. I swear thats the only think i have been thinking about. Every time i close my eyes, its just there...Anyways,I think i really need some medical help regarding my knees.. i will make an appointment this weekend. Maybe my knee is causing all my depression... because i can't run or do anything normal....

After that i met up with sis, watched a movie.. " Life as we know it" starring Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel- not too bad-funny and i kinda like it.. its a movie you can relate to life. =)


How was your day? Great?
