Yes, I have turned into an insomniac, that too a skilled one!
At times, I have stayed up all night and don't even feel sleepy the following day. This gets The Man very worried, but I am okay with it. Is that normal??
The reason most of the times is, my phone. Yeah I read it everyday everywhere that the smart phones are taking over mankind but its like an addiction which I can't help.I suppose saying that having friends and family in different countries with clashing time zones doesn't help much either. On some nights, it's a late night chat with my childhood friend(s), at other nights it's consoling a dear girl or a guy friend about their lost love, at times it's just heart to heart sister talks or the nights where I share recipes with my hotelier friend. But many times, it's just pure chatter box gibberish between two or more people. I mean how could I sleep when there are so many people out there who need me?!? Okay, now I sound like Mother Teresa! But, yes I do agree with those experts who say that the smart phones are taking over the not-so-smart humans...
But there's not only the Yakkity yak yak one does on their phones. What about games?? I play a lot of games on my phone and that alone suffices the reason I dont sleep much. Sheeshh too much distraction I tell you. But look at the brighter side (yes there is one!) I won't be cribbing and crying for staying up all night when I have a baby. Yayy this insomnia is teaching me a thing or two after all :)
But truly speaking, I miss sleeping.I miss the familiar cosy feeling you get when your eyes turn droopy and heavy. The familiar longing of your comfy bed to drift off to sleep and have dreams. I miss having my dreams too. My own fantasy world of crazy dreams where I have been too crazy which if I voice openly will certainly label me a 'certified' crazy person.
I miss the relieved feeling you get when you head for a noon nap or your beauty sleep because when you are sleeping, you are not sad, you are not angry, you are not lonely, you are nothing. You just sleep...
It is wisely said "when all else fails take a nap" wish I could do this. They also say a steaming cup of hot cocoa at night helps you sleep better. So that's exactly what I did. I made my very own mean mug of cocoa
'Mix 1cup milk with 3.5 tsp of drinking chocolate in a heating saucepan. Heat till it comes to a boil and cook for another 1min. Take it off heat. Stir in half tsp of vanilla essence and now time to add in the heavenly stuff - 1 (or 2 or maybe 3) tsp of Nutella. Lightly stir. Pour. Sit back & enjoy your rightly deserved beverage. After all you are a victim of the smart phone and an insomniac!! You deserve the best ... ;)
Oddly enough, I couldn't sleep even after this drink. Was wide awake like an owl. Maybe this time it was the extreme sugar rush ppfpfpfffttt...
But really do yourselves a favor. Put away the smart phone before your bedtime and give your body and your mind the much needed rest. Because that's exactly what I am gonna do (or Atleast try to do that!!)
Happy cooking you all ...!!!
