Woke up this morning, still burdened with one thing that really frustrated me that I still could not get a smooth sleep the night before, I took a simple calculation while I was bathing that over a week, I in fact suffer "intermittent disturbance" during my sleep.
I would wake up in between hours, sometimes at 1 am, another time, could be 3.am and so on and so forth. I have tried many things to get over this problem, I ran, I took milk, I took hot shower before sleep,I read books just to get tired, I tried to sleep and late, sometimes I even hit the road at about 1 am and ran for an hour, came back, thought I could be tired but still the good sleep eluded me.
And you know this is the time when "prayer" seems to be the most frustrating thing to do, cause it just seems to work for me,I am not blaming God though and that's exactly how I'd feel.
Worries? You may ask, may be a little here and there but I don't think it would warrant such a condition of mine to persist in this manner.
And sometimes this is the reason, I woke up early in the morning, do some praying and blogging.
Do you have had got such an experience like mine?
P/S : I know how it feels when sleeps are lost
Saw the time of your post.. 6am... that is very early. Is this some kind of insomnia? Too many things to think and bothering you?
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicky
Deletedo some meditation :) that should help
ReplyDeleteLatest: More than BIG Breakfast
Thanks dear
DeleteI think I face the same each time when comes to month end. When too many worries kick in, but it get better 1st week of the month, and it will come back again.. it's a routine..
ReplyDeleteYou take care too ya sis
DeleteHave you tried milk thistle? Insomnia could be due to liver problem too. For me, I try not to do any exercise late at night, it actually makes your body and mind overactive. I practise dead man pose in yoga, that is taking deep breathing slowly, it helps to relax your mind and calm your nerve.
ReplyDeleteI do two things when I can't sleep which is not so often, thank goodness. I either watch tv (Astro gives one the chance to channel-hop like crazy and since switching to HD, there are more channels!) or I get online - not necessarily blogging but checking out mails (without answering them yet), reading news sites, simply surfing, also play a game or two maybe until it gets boring that your eyes had to shut.
ReplyDeletePsst.. also, don't let your mind dwell too much on your worries. They will sort out by themselves, you'll see.
I like the last paragraph of your comment,,thanks a million dear
DeleteI have the same problem too bro...Can't sleep early and when I finally get to sleep, Chenya wakes up for milk and then Ryan wakes up for milk ....I can't remember the day when I could sleep right through the night for quite a while now....Could also be a sign of age catching I think....anyway, I'm not too worry about it ...Just take it as it comes ....:)
ReplyDeleteMay be must learn from you,,loads of holidays hahahhaah ,,thanks bro
DeleteI have the same problem too...so I go to sleep early to make sure I get enough sleep by the time I get up in the morning.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I sleep early,,, wake up lagi jialak lar,, now coping it with loads of prayers lah
Deleteyou are not alone... i do have this kinda issues too..specially during summer in my country..(like what we have now) The heat is so consuming and you can't even have a good night sleep.
ReplyDeleteI think the bed is one factor as well... If your bed is not comfortable it will be difficult to achieve the good rest. Stay blessed
Yup,my bed is kind of hard and rigid,time to change one lol
DeleteI think it's a common problem..
ReplyDeleteI'd suggest not to look at the clock, may be read a book or watch TV?
Hope you sleep better tonight.
yayaya, thanks for the advice,now I remember I always look at the clock,you know the Astro decoder,,,,,,,,,,,,,
DeleteFor me, when I work out at the gym, I do sleep better... otherwise I normally do have insomnia!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking of going back to the gym this morning,together with my wifey,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Deletefor me, last time when I was teen, I use to be auto sit up and sit for like 10-20mins in my dream then awake . . . then sleep back.
ReplyDeleteone night could happen twice or 3 times. And no packs for me thou lol
now I think 1 week twice for me. then awake and sleep again.
maybe is stress problem or didnt have enough of good food :P
Fai Koh,,,,,,,,what is auto sit up? sounds like a new term to me,hahahhahaaha
DeleteI dunno, means I sleep that time automatically sit up.
DeleteDid you watch wrestling? One of the special move for Undertaker or Kane, when they got whack until lay down on floor, suddenly sit up and scare their opponent and choke slam them.
That is the sit up I am telling u lol!
Hmm, I think you should stop worry about it. I agree with Sheoh Yan, when you wake up in the middle of the night, just lie down, relax yourself from your head to toes, breath in and out deeply a few times, then back to normal breathing. Concentrate on your breathing and don't think about anything. Try don't take tea or coffee after 4pm. See if this works.
ReplyDeleteThanks dear,may be it is because I drink too much of coffee,everytime see customers,I would call out," Kopi O kaw kaw" sigh..........
DeleteIt's quite normal for me (and my hubb). Usually try not to think so much and giving stress to myself. Will lay dead on my bed and concentrate on my breathing to clear my mind.
ReplyDeleteNow,I realize as you said,,breathing,,,,,,,read about it,must practice it too,,thanks a million for the hint
Delete*lie* not lay, hehehe!
ReplyDeleteSigns of menopause can cause insomnia.. but then this only happens in ladies.. but you? maybe something is troubling.. sometimes if we worry about some issues, sleep can elude us..
ReplyDeleteTake care!
Thanks Claire,,, will take care of myself,just remember me in your prayer,will ya?
Deletewell, I could only recommend Fitline Restorate. It's full of minerals which can help you to sleep well. If u want to try I can send to u. Just let me know.
ReplyDeleteHey thanks for your offer,it is so nice of you,actually I have got friends in that too,probably I would ask some samples from them,, thanks ya Wenn
DeleteIf all things fail for you to sleep, just pray to God that He will heal you. I have a sister in my church, who had bad insomnia and through prayer, God delivered her.
ReplyDeleteBro, uphold your mind and body to God each nite before you sleep. That God will take control over all of you IJN, amen.
