today there was a write up in the times international abt how some experiments regarding survival of astronauts on mars are gonna lead to a remedy fr insomnia!!
cutting edge!!!
is it?? IS IT???
ya rite..!!
i mean what in the name of god is wrong with 'em..they can discover cures for cancer buh cant put poor people to sleep??? is it THAT difficult??
anyone whose been following this blog knows how painfully bereaving it is to be an insomniac and how melancholic i get about this issue.. sigghh
so as i was readin it..i configured some of my own ways to beat the insomnia devil black n blue
9 ways to get urself to go to sleep:
1. if ya have a treadmill or cross trainer at home..just get on it and exhaust yourself to death ...be near the bed so dat wen u die of exhaustion u can fall on the bed directly..that will save u from any fractures or concussions due to the fall.
2. try listenin to Bryan Adams...no offence to his delightful singing..buh i really do feel drowsy wen i listen to him(never ever ever ever switch on the radio..bloody morons will suck the life outta u..their endless blabber makes me sick)
3.pull out any book by Erich segal [preferably love story..yuck!]..it'll slowly transfer u to deep slumber..dont even think of wodehouse or dahl..u'll end up finishin the book right there and it'll be 5 am before u know(erich fans..this is just my opinion..u are free to differ)
4.ask ur grandma to tell u a story and wen she shrugs u off sayin u are too old for it ..make a puppy face. :(
5.start watching any of the nauseating k serials....or any other tv soap for dat matter...never let yourself near the remote cz then u're bound to switch the channel to the football match (by the way...epl sucks!!!)
6. go n take a nice long hot bath..trust me ..it helps!!!
7.lie on the bed..tummy side down..n start solvin math problems...don't do this after u've had3 large pizzas...u don wanna barf all over ur bed im sure!
8. lie down facing the sky..just lookin at the stars...tryin to cave in the sheer beauty and winsomenes of it all...slowly ur mind relaxes and before u know...u'll be asleep( sound too philosophical eh??..umm..jus like me!)
9. mix 3 parts of vodka 2 parts of martini and 4 parts of gin....pour it in a goblet and add one pill of sweet cyanide to it ..drink a litre of it..then u'll sleep for the rest of ur life [ er..dun try this one!!]
hope this helps ya ppl...
a legitimate endeavour to help my fellow insomniacs.
by the way...
has it ever happened to u dat u open the dictionary for looking up a word and end up lookin another 50 ,realising that u've spent 1 hour doin it??
has it ever happened to u that u ur mom asks u if u really want the iphone and that she's willin to buy it for u since u are her Lil munchkin...and u say NO??? [what the..??]
has it ever happened ...that u dial up a number and when some one speaks on the other end...u forget who u called for?
has it ever happened to u that u try to get rid of that pimple on ur nose by cursing it and next morning..it actually goes away!!
have u ever swallowed a spoonful of coffee thinkin it was bournvita??? [i srslee wept after that]
k i aint that retarded ..they were all in identical bottles and i had a blocked nose..
oh cmon...they both look da darn same!!! :(
i gess i soemtimes end up doin rather dumb things...
really dumb things.
