A Hard Day's Night
Last night I had the toughest time of my life trying to fall asleep, which is something out of the normal. Usually, I'll be able to fall asleep as soon as my head comes in contact with the pillow. And also after I've undergone my compulsory sleep ritual.
Hiyoshi's Sleep Ritual
1) Lie down on back
2) Turn to right side while clutching at blanket (toto sebenarnya)
3) Turn to left side
4) Lie down on back again
5) Rub my feet against my blanket @ toto
6) Rub my feet against the bed cover
7) Repeat steps 1 to 6 until lose conscienceness.
Normally, after I perform my sleep ritual, I'll be off to Dreamland in no time. But last night was different. Strange, in fact. I had been tossing and turning in my bed, yet I still couldn't sleep. I dare say that I tossed and turned quite a number of times to feel that if I were a helping of salad, I'd be pretty much ready to be served.
When I can't fall asleep, I'll end up thinking too much (or is that the other way around?). Anyway, I was thinking about my life so far, and what I've been through, about how I've been swallowing much of the bitterness that I've faced lately...and then I started to feel sorry for myself.
It was then that I decided I had better go to sleep soon before I was swept away by a wave of melancholy. Which I did.

hiyoshi, you are only 6 years old to be worrying about electricity tarriffs that disturbed your sleeping pattern last night.
the blackout event yesterday must be terrible for you.
Hope you will sleep on fine tonight.
ciannye takle tido.hehe
Aki nok tanya sket kat cucu Aki hok sorang cempong ni, 7 tabiat sebelom tido cucu tu Aki rase ler tak dok dalam sunah rasul kite tu, :p. Pusieng kiri kanan, lepaih tu gesel kaki ke toto, pelik betol tabiat tu, hehe.
Nanti Aki nok gi belakang rumoh bukok kitab lama Aki tu, semok balik bab tido ni. Risau pulok Aki, kang ada pulok orang kate bidaah. Orang Pahang kate pede'oh.
Jadi awok ke Langkawi cu? Awok naik mende? Aki nok ucap selamat jalan dan balik dan semoga awok bergumbire di sana
next time,if u cant sleep,msg me je la.at least i can 'amplify' the wave of melancholy.haha
mama sarah
Thank you for the concern. Hopefully there'll be no blackouts during the night :(
awe
Kenapa bernada penuh sinis ayat kasihan ko?
tokki andak
Aki, cu tak faham maksud chempong :( Boleh aki terangkan apa maksud dia? Hari tu ada tanya pada puan doktor, tapi puan doktor masih belum menjawab. Cu tahu agak pelik perangai cu sebelum tidur, tapi memang itu yang selalu dibuat, samada sedar atau tidak. Mugkin kena ubah tabiat tidur agaknya!
Cu memang akan ke Langkawi, menaiki kenderaan ayah. Tapi bila mahu bertolak, belum diberitahu. Ayah memang kuat berahsia!
awe again: Thank you, but I think I can generate all the sadness I need all by myself
Macam ni Cu Yoshi. Chempong ni Aki tok ler pasti memang loghat Pahang ke bukan. Yg pasti dalam keluarga Aki, perkatan chempong ni membawe maksud orang kesayangan.
Itu ler penjelasan dari Aki. Kalau Aki Anjang nok tamboh, boleh ler. Tapi Aki rase dia tu jarang berjalan ke Blog orang selain rodong dia jer. Kere sumbang dia tu!
ala.taknak kite teman cakap je la :-(
5) Rub my feet against my blanket @ toto
6) Rub my feet against the bed cover
too cute man, too cute. why do i get the image of a baby falling asleep jer? ha? :P
speaking of sleeping, i better head off to lala land as well, lest terlajak sampai ke subuh (and hopefully, ill not sleep and terlajak subuh itself).
Haha.. to tell the truth I do number 5) and 6) quite often too. It does indeed help me to fall asleep faster than if I just lie there, tossing and turning like the salad you mentioned. Peculiar habit I know, but hey. Anything to get me asleep these days. I blame it on the hostel mosquitoes. Borg mosquitoes I call them- no amount of shieldtox or fogging could repel them.
firstly, welcome to blogspot! Hehe... I'm a bit outdated here I see. Anyway, I don't have any sleeping 'rituals', I'm probably one of the easiest to fall asleep around here- a few minutes is all I take n off I will go to la-la land.
That said, some of my more serious thinkings also take place in the quiet hours of the night. The feelings I am left with afterwards are often not content, but I think you need those moments, those feelings, every now n then. Keep you in check, you know? All's good then, I hope =)
i'm writing dis fr my hp.n i cant sleep.i've tried 2 immitate ur rituals but 2 no avail.n now,its me whose being crushed by d tsunami of melancholy.dammit!
having "rituals" for e.g. sleeping is a sign of obsessive compulsive disorder, did you know? hehehe.
An article I read advised: see the bed as only as a place to sleep. if you find yourself awake for more than 10 minutes, get up and do something else. Then try again later.
anyway how i normally sleep very late, and i guess, i watch DivX and until i'm sleepy enough to fall sleep (or read a [text]book).
Textbooks ... now that's a sure cure for insomnia!
especially genetics
agree with 23..just like a baby boy! heh!
"Anyway, I was thinking about my life so far, and what I've been through, about how I've been swallowing much of the bitterness that I've faced lately...and then I started to feel sorry for myself."
well yoshi, may be u shud share you bitterness with us here if that will make u feel better! do write about that, I believe there are many bloggers here who are willing to help u! =)
i hope u can sleep well after d island trip.such a waste if u can sleep n have a sweet dream after seeing d kaki licin pakai bikini.hoho.
n salfiza,hows miri?i hope u bring me back sum kek lapis srwk (^^)

thought id check out your blog, dropped by from the blogspots i frequent.
sounds like you do have a lot on your mind lately..
but have to agree with mynn. TEXTBOOKS! surefire way to slumberland. but you can tell my teachers werent all that amused with my impromptu escapaes whilst attending their classes! :)
Salaam..
Well, ditto here.. I have that trouble of falling asleep too.. Sometimes it takes me 3 hours! Luckily, it's not so bad these days.. back when I was young, I had such sleeping problems that I just can't sleep and end up crying because I'm scared.
Nowadays, it's getting easier.. I don't know why :D
Cool blog, interesting information... Keep it UP »
