Insomnia


I woke up this morning with a stiff shoulder and severe muscle pain.

Every single strand of muscle on my body was aching, it hurts to even lift my arms. All I wanted to do is to curl up in bed and stay here.

I'm not sure if these debilitating symptoms were due to the body massage I got yesterday, or the rough night of sleep I had.

Or the stupid "banana boat" exercise Bee forced me to do last night, supposedly to help me to sleep better.

You see, I didn't bring enough Stilnox tablets with me on this trip, so I'm trying to go without whenever possible to conserve the limited stock.

So far, it's not working out so well. To say the least.

I spent the entire night tossing and turning in bed, but still unable to get a wink of sleep! My body (and mind) simply lacks the ability to relax and fall asleep on its own.

That's the thing with insomnia, the harder you try to sleep, the more awake you become. It's really one of the worst feelings in the world.

Here's hoping that it gets better with practice.

For now, I think I'm gonna go make myself a cup of hot tea and lay low for the rest of the day to nurse my sore muscles and groggy head.

Later.
