I am not an avid fan of sleeping pills or sheep-counting just so I could fall asleep immediately. In other words, I am not in need for any best sleeping aids, at least not until recently. Before, I just close my eyes and settle myself in bed, soon I’ll be fast asleep but now I just have a few hours of sleep then in the morning I wake up like I haven’t slept at all.Sleeping pills scare me. No reason at all, they just kinda freak me out. Sheep-counting is tiring ( and it’s not like I’m a Mr. Bean who practically falls to bed asleep immediately after counting sheep from his cardboard filled with pictures of sheep ). Plus, I do not sleep immediately when I’m tired. I always end up having ridiculously scary nightmares and wake up in the middle of the night, or maybe dawn, with my heart pounding and racing. And it’s as if I’m always in paranoia mode, I always had to remember to position myself sideward, ‘cause it’s also when I lay flat in bed ( as I’ve come to observe ) that I suffer weird nightmares. Sorry for ranting about these things. I am just trying to put myself to sleep.
