a cup of freshly brewed coffee

Tweet

My eyes may be wide open already but my mind was still very much asleep when I woke up this morning. I would have crawled from our bedroom to the kitchen but no, I didn't want to crawl on the floor.

I need a cup of freshly brewed coffee, instant will do the job as well, for my mind to function early in the morning.  Caffeine injects adrenaline into the system to make a person feel alert and increases the brain's cognitive function. A cup of tea won't shake off the cobwebs of sleep for me.

If you're planning on calling or visiting early in the morning, make sure I had my first cup of coffee already.

sleepy and tired

I had an early start today. I was still dreaming about the best pre workout supplement, randomly followed it while visiting other sites last night, when the cellphone alarm woke me up at four-thirty in the morning. I was still very sleepy, hit the sack at around 11:30 pm the previous night, but we have a flight to Bicol at six-thirty. I had no choice but to pry my eyes open.

I already have ugly dark circles under my eyes. I don't like to look like a walking zombie anymore. I know I've planned this a few months back but I will definitely start this tonight. I will start sleeping early.

my cup of tea

Tweet

I read an article about the benefits of drinking a cup of tea a day. Based on studies, one of the secrets to living a longer life is to drink tea everyday.

I am a coffee person. As soon as I open my eyes in the morning, first thing I do is drink coffee or I'll be a walking zombie the whole day. I drink 2-3 big cups of coffee a day. More makes me sick and sleepless at night.

I have been trying to convert my coffee addiction to drinking tea. But my taste buds like coffee more. Until I found Lipton's Herbal Collection.

All the different varieties taste good! There's a bit of tea-taste but the natural flavors are more dominant. Based on the number of times I've tried drinking tea, every variety from Lipton and other brands, I obviously don't like it. But since I've tried Lipton's Herbal Collection, I have been drinking it almost every night after dinner or before going to sleep.

Not a tea-drinker? Try this, you'll love it.

sleeping early is good for me

...and for you too.

I now sleep early. How'd I do it? I stopped drinking coffee at night. I now feel alive in the morning because of that. I feel normal again.

I usually go to bed at 1 or 2 am the whole year of 2010. I even had to wake up at 530 am to help RJ prepare for school. I feel like a zombie, while preparing breakfast, and can't wait to go back to bed. As soon as RJ's school service picks him up, I'm snoring before my head even hits the pillow.

But now, I feel normal. I miss drinking coffee at night but I'd choose normal anytime than looking like a zombie in the morning.

I should change my sleeping habit. I have been sleeping really late, erm when Mr. Sun's about to wake up, for the past few months. This bad snoozing habit is taking a toll on my body, I am getting fat. Everytine I look in the mirror, it looks like I've gained a few pounds from last time I've checked. Or maybe it's just pure guilt knowing that I am so irresponsible with my own body lately.

I sleep at around 2 or 3 in the morning and have to wake up at 530 am to prepare RJ for school. When the school bus picks him up at around 630 am, I still have to fix the house. I then sleep at around 730 am until noon. That seems enough right? My body doesn't think so, my eyes doesn't want to open. I feel so weak the whole afternoon.

I really have to give in to what my body wants- sleeping at the right time. I need to take care of my body more. And yes, I need to drink more water also. I have to look for water retemtion remedies to make sure I am drinking clean water in the house.

how not to have unsleepless nights

Tweet

There are nights that I don't feel comfortable with our bed. The bed creakes all the time, blame it on me not on the springs. I am too lazy to use the spring plungers that comes with the bed. I have been planning to buy a bed made of wood. But I haven't found "the bed" yet.

I have been looking for like - forever. I am on the verge of throwing our bed out of the window. But I have to be patient. I don't want to invest on something that I wouldn't like later on. A wooden bed is not that cheap!

lights out at 11PM

Tweet

The past two days were sleepless nights for me. I noticed that when it's past 1am already, eventhough I can barely keep my eyes open, my mind is still very much awake.

So starting tonight, my lights out is at 11pm.

There goes the alarm, 11pm.

Goodnight everyone!

counting sheeps didn't help

3:20 a.m (Manila time)

I am very sleepy already. I have been trying to sleep for hours, but there are lots of ideas, words, etc on my head. I can't concentrate on sleeping. I guess I had too much coffee. Or my mind is so awake, because it's early morning, it doesn't want to cooperate with my tired body anymore.

Counting sheeps didn't help either.

I'm pretty sure I will look like a walking zombie tomorrow.
