Random Thoughts
Ahh my old Insomnia thread (feels at ease), it's 4:42 A.M. and as usual I'm having trouble falling asleep. I'm tired of xxxxxing about it so don't worry I'm not ranting about it nor do I need any more tips because I've given up.
I was playing Party Poker and played a $215 buy-in single table tournament and since only top 3 pay I lost and was pretty frustrated. So I played one more time and it just finished about 20 min ago. Why am I writing this you ask? I don't know just feel like writing. I came in second this time and recieved $600 dollars, I should have made 1000 but some guy got lucky when he beat me with a worse hand to win it but hey it happens in the short run but in the long run the luck factor decreases a lot. I noticed I'm having a lot of anxiety while playing poker and lately I've been short of breath and start shaking slightly. I found some old Yanni songs in my songs folder and that really helped me relax and took away all my anxiety and tension. Yanni's music is pretty amazing I'm listening to "In The Mirror" right now, you guys should download it. His music is so soulful and spiritual, I would take his music right now over a Benzodiazepine (Valium, Xanax, etc.) to relieve anxiety which goes to show you music can sometimes be really powerful. I've been sick for the past 4 days with a major flu and infection and just finished my antibiotics yesterday. I took Zithromax, they have a new Tri-Pak which is once a day for 3 days and you're done. I remember in the old days antibiotics would have to be taken for up to ten days and sometimes every 8 or 12 hours. Medicine is advancing, pretty soon they will have a single pill antibiotic to cure your sinus infection, I read it in a article the other day. I shouldn't have gone out tonight but being the stupid old me that I am I couldn't have everyone else go out and me stay home and get better. Sorry for the sporadic sentences, I know it just goes from one thing to another all of a sudden. I ended up going to some mansion type house party and got dressed up as a firefighter. My luck it ended up being one of the coldest nights we've had for a while and the last 20 min before we left I went in the car alone and turned on the heater full blast and just relaxed. Tonight was just perfect for my flu, just sensational. I should have brought some girl I'm talking to, to the party I probably would have enjoyed it much more, but I have issues and I didn't. I need to stop being scared and open up for once, I never give any of these girls a chance. I think now is a good time to have a girlfriend and stop with all these stupid parties and clubs which I've cut down tremendously anyway. Am I writing a diary type thing here or is this just a insomnia post, I don't know. I felt like writing on and on until I got tired, that was the plan. I regret to inform you that the plan didn't go too well. I could keep going on forever about many other things but now this post is getting too long. Writing feels good, you guys should try it. Listen to some Yanni and write random thoughts that come to your head, it puts your mind more at ease for some reason. But maybe everyone elses mind is at ease and more care free than mine and that's why no one is awake with me right now
. I wanna keep writing but I'm getting out of hand. I'm gonna go listen to some more Yanni now and then maybe watch a movie and sleep somehow.

I know you didn't want any tips, but if you just go to sleep when you're tired enough to sleep when you have insomnia your sleep cycles get all xxxxed up and it just makes it worse. You need to decide when you want to sleep each night and train yourself to sleep then. It's kind of a last resort from what I can remember but they say that you can't go backwards.. you must go forward. So, people make themselves sleep later and later and later until they get to their desired sleeping time.
For example: If you'd like to sleep at midnight and you can't... you can't sleep or you're not sleepy until 3 or 4, then don't sleep until 6, then don't sleep until 8, then 10, then 12, etc until you get to 12am.
Otherwise I have a list of tips that I gave to my classes...
Read something pleasant or relaxing just before going to sleep.
Arrange your schedule so you go to sleep at the same time each night.
Take a warm bath or have a massage before going to sleep.
Avoid coffee or tea late in the day.
Exercise every day, but not just before going to sleep.
Don’t smoke.
Don’t nap during the day.
Don’t worry; Almost everyone experiences this at times.
Get up and read, work, watch TV until you feel drowsy.[COLOR=#4b0082][B][SIZE=4][FONT=trebuchet ms]“If you think you can, or you can’t, you’re right.”
