Insomnia - My Cure for Insomnia

 

It’s really pretty simple when you think about it… The cure for insomnia is, don’t worry about it. Don’t worry about it and don’t sleep. Do something. Consider yourself blessed with extra time. I’m not a good night sleeper, never have been apparently never will be and sometimes I do lay awake and worry about it. Toss and turn, but you know it doesn’t get you anywhere and it really doesn’t bother me in the in the broad scope of things I usually have a great day the next day in fact, I always have a great day the next day. I’m never tired or dreary or dysfunctional, to the contrary, usually very energized and have a great and very normal day. Back in those days when I was working two jobs and getting off from DSS had to put on my jacket and tie and go over to Sears from 6 to 9 during those days if I didn’t work at Sears, I felt like I had the day off, and it used to mystify me how they would have me scheduled for every single holiday so whatever it was leading up to Christmas Labor Day, Memorial Day whatever the holiday might be Fourth of July they have me on the schedule so that minimize the number of vacations we took for sure but my point is in those days when I had to put in 1415 hours, yeah theoretically I used to be worried about getting enough sleep but even then he really never bothered me. The only thing that did bother me about insomnia, was calling it insomnia, and feeling like I was supposed to get to sleep. I think it’s the pressure of thinking that you’re not doing the right thing that you’re not getting enough sleep that’s the problem not the lack of sleep itself so that’s why I did this video of me just playing a few games because that’s one way to use the time I use it playing the games or playing chess or watching chess videos or listening to Audible Books and I believe I said during that podcast that I’ve listened to more books over the last five or six years than in the last 70 years. So like with all of my blog posts or podcasts were self talk sessions it’s all about me just thinking things out and talking out my own solutions. I’m not giving advice. I’m not giving recommendations. I’m just sharing my thoughts my examples and if it’s helpful to somebody else all the better for it, but I make no promises and certainly no guarantees. In the title, I believe I said the cure for insomnia and I think I’m going to change that to my cure for insomnia. If anyone would like to share theirs, I’d love to hear it.
