Sleeping Beauty

I drank one whole pot of English tea yesterday night and ended up staring at my bedroom ceiling the whole entire night!!! Didn’t manage to sleep a wink and this morning my eyes became bengkak (swollen)!! Gees, had I known that drinking English tea is gonna have this effect on me, I wouldn’t have touched it man regardless that it came in a supper set!! See, Coffee and Chinese tea has no effect on me. I can drink them just before I sleep and I’ll still doze off easily. When I was still studying, I have to drink at least 2 to 3 cups of black coffee to sustain me through the night when I burned my midnight oil studying for my exams or doing my assignments!!! It’s weird cos I have tried other tea like fruit tea, green tea and rose tea, which doesn’t seem to have any effect either. Hmmm….must really checked out what tea they served me yesterday.

Anyways, I have always been a bad sleeper…and also a light sleeper. Any noise in the middle of the night will wake me up including when it rains, when I get sms on my hp (which is really irritating and thus, sender will get told off by me) or when I get kicked by my sister (when we used to share a room!) Nowadays, I can only sleep in beds, not in cars, not in buses, not in trains, not in planes, hotel beds also depends…if I’m too tired, then chances are I may fall asleep but there’s a possibility that I’ll wake up in the middle of the night! And, to make matters worse, I can’t seemed to sleep late on weekends anymore.

It’s like I have this internal alarm which wakes me up on auto-mode on the weekend, same time as I usually wake up on weekdays. Of course this also means that I have a Cinderella syndrome i.e. I need to go to bed by midnight!! Or else I’ll just keep on yawning and yawning till tears roll down! I remembered previously, I used to be a night owl! The latest (or earliest) that I stayed up was till 6 am in the morning yum cha with frens!! When I went back, my dad was getting ready to goto work and I quickly scooted off to my room to sleep through the day!! Hahahaha…even on weekends, I used to sleep till at least 11am to noon. Omigawd, this must be a sign of old age man! eyes rolling...
