Secret Love Nest

Tired

I was so tired last night I literally passed out.

Well not passed out but I fell asleep so fast even I am surprised I can do that.

I think I haven't said this or write this here, an irritating thing about me.

I have a mild case of insomia. My insomia has an attutide.

Why did I say that? Simple. My insomia never, not even once, cooperate with me. I hate my insomia.

For example, when I want to sleep, it won't let me sleep. Forcing me to do things at night to tire myself so I can close my eyes and go to De de dreamland (Guess who watched La la land)

That is annoying because that attitude of my insomia usually attacked when I have to wake up early tomorrow to do important things like work. So there are times that I have to come to work looking like a zombie who should be shot down so it can finally have some eternal rest.

(Tip: Buy some good concealer. They work like miracles.)

But my insomia has a flip side. It makes me sleepy when I am desperately wanting to stay awake.

Like back in high school, I have to review for my exams, but my eyes got so heavy and I fell asleep on top of my notes and books.

Guess who had to scampered at the last minutes to review? Yes me! It's me.

Another example was two nights ago when Qing told me that he will call at 11 pm because that will be a breaktime for him while he is shooting his drama in a far away land (Shanghai) from me.

My bitchy insomia attacked again. Making me fell asleep at 10:30pm after I tried staying awake for 2 hours. I missed Qing first two call. I woke up on his third call after I got annoyed at hearing my ringtone in my dream and woke up.

I took the call hastily, mind still foggy.

Me: (whining) Qing ah, my insomia is killing me! I tried staying awake! I swear.

Qing: Are you tired today?

Me: A little. I had a long photoshoots under the sun today. But I was fine and still energized when I got your message that you will call me. I even tried to run, do some push ups and sits up while waiting for your call.

Qing: But...

Me: I ate a piece of chocolate and then I lay on bed. Suddenly I fell asleep.

Qing: Tsk tsk...you know that eating chocolate at night makes you sleepy.

Me: But the internet said that chocolate is an energy booster!

I yawned loudly.

Me: (whining some more) Now I am sleepy again.

Qing laughed on the other line.

Qing: You have a weird body chemical Dayu. Exercise makes you sleepy. Coffee makes you sleepy. Chocolate at night makes you sleepy.

Me: It's my insomia! It's bipolar!

Qing laughed some more.
