Watch me spew poison...Hell knows no fury

I realised that if I read something at night before I sleep, it helps me to sleep better. I have been doing that for the last couple of weeks. I know it's time to hit the bed when my eyes read the same line over and over again and still, it doesn't register in my mind. And I am knocked out as soon as my head hits the pillow.

Better than any sleeping pills. Not that I take any for that matter. As a matter of fact, I don't even take pills of any kind as far as I can help it. Not even for colds, fever or sore throat. Cos I read somewhere that every pill that's ingested increases the load on your kidneys by 10 times or so. Instead, I put my faith in the natural healing process that our bodies initiate at the first sign of any discomfort. And wait for our bodies to work magic as the natural healing process proceeds slowly but surely.

But I am not sure if falling asleep as soon as you hit the bed is a good thing. At least for me. Cos it has been a habit of mine for as long as I can remember, when I spent some time at the end of each day reflecting on any significant events. Taking stock of the day's happenings. It makes me feel I am in control of my life. It allows my emotions to settle, so the next day can start on a clean slate. Downside to this is that I lose precious sleeping time, sometimes intellectualising about trival things that don't matter.
