Are you more of a night or morning person? I have spent my whole adult life proudly identifying as a morning person. Capital M, capital P. One of those people who pops up at 5 a.m. like a caffeinated meerkat. I cook breakfast. I answer emails. I’m on […]
Apparently, cherries, kiwi, and grapes are the holy trinity of sleep. Yes, you read that right. Not melatonin gummies, not sleepy tea, but a fruit bowl away from a full REM cycle. According to an article I stumbled upon, these three common fruits (emphasis on common) can help […]
So here I am, yet again, re-watching The Vampire Diaries. Yes, I know. I can’t stand the sight of blood in real life. But put a brooding vampire on my screen with a leather jacket and a moral dilemma, and suddenly I’m all in. There’s just something about […]
It’s 2 AM, and here I am, watching “Revenge” for the second time in seven months. Yep, that’s right, twice. Apparently, the first go-around wasn’t enough of a cautionary tale about how revenge plots can spiral out of control—much like my sleep schedule. Let’s be real. We all […]
It’s past midnight, and here I am, eyes glued to the glow of my phone, scrolling through Twitter like it’s the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe. Spoiler alert: it’s not. Instead, I’m bombarded with cat videos, political rants, and that one guy live-tweeting his epic […]
Ah, the dance with insomnia, where sleep tiptoes around like a shy suitor, forever just out of reach. My mind, a carnival of chaos, with thoughts racing like Olympic sprinters and dreams haunted by AI-built skyscrapers plotting their sinister takeover. Sleep, that elusive temptress, flirts with me from […]
I’m a bit of a night owl. I’m tired but wife aeake at 2am. And, what a night it has been. First off, we haven’t seen the resident groundhog. We are afraid that the fox ate him. Second, we heard a terrifying cry from an animal. I looked […]
It’s 2:17am. I’m up coughing up a lung watching a silly movie called My Spy. I couldn’t really tell you what has happened in the movie and I’m more than an hour in. I’m exhausted but know there is no sleep to come for a while. Being sick […]
I have trouble falling asleep. Well. I want to sleep during many work meetings but that is different. Although, I have never fallen asleep at work or during a meeting. I can’t say that for all my colleagues. There was a zoom meeting a few months ago where […]
The streets are somewhat quiet. Netflix wants to know if I’m still watching. I’m thirsty and my eyes itch. The week has been long. Images and words running through my head. My legs want to run but they want to rest as well. Nothing to do but to […]
