Ever since I was a kid I've never slept
well. I would eventually fall asleep to the sound of my brothers
either talking on the phone or watching TV and wake up at the ass
crack of dawn when my father would for work. Let's just say from 11pm
until 4am (KFWB!!! News 98!!!). That was normal to me until I got older and friends would
talk about falling asleep at 10pm and waking up at 8am. That just
sounded ridiculous to me. Who needs that much sleep?!
As I have gotten older my sleep has not
gotten any better and there have been times where I've had full blown
insomnia. I'm not talking about a day or two of not sleeping. I'm
taking about days, weeks, and at the worse 30 straight days of living
in my own personal Zombieland. In this Five Things I Learned Dealing
With Insomnia I'll talk about some of the things I learned during
these times. I once looked up hypomania and it sounded like some shit
I was going through. Click here to check that out.
Sleep Is For The Weak
There comes a point where I would just
accept that I was not going to fall asleep. After a few days of this
I would eventually say to myself “Screw sleeping! I'm getting some
much more done. Plus, I don't even feel tired!” I would go to work
and laugh at those that were sleepy or showed up late because they
overslept. Why weren't more people just not sleeping? It was awesome!
