Sleep deprivation

I've been trying to figure out why I haven't been able to sleep early? This is such an unhealthy routine that I believe that I deserve to know why and what can be done to stop this.

The reason why would be because I've been sleeping to as late as 4 in the morning for the past one month. My body sort of followed this routine, for I had cultivated this sleeping late routine for about a month. It's hard to get used to sleeping late. At least, I'm seeping at 2am every night. That sort of gave me some relief. However, I would still want to train myself on sleeping at 11pm every night.

There are strengths and weaknesses to this routine.

The strengths would be ... I would be able to do more things such as read more books and apply for jobs. Yes, I'm still jobless. It's pretty difficult to get a job now. Especially when I have no experience. However, I would be volunteering for Mission Australia under the Marketings, Branding and Communication team. That's a start. At least, I'm doing something. I might get a part time job too, just till I get a full time job that pays. :)

Ok back to the weaknesses of sleep deprivation. The weaknesses would be ...
1) I would grow weaker later on, especially when Period Menstruation comes.
2) Stress and anxious
3) I may get angry, irritable and depressed. All these are able to cause relationship and social problems.
4) Lack of focus and difficulty in concentrating.
5) Short term memory loss. I have good memory and if I ever go through short term memory loss, that would be horrible. I would be cracking my head till I have a migraine.
6) Suppression of the immune system. I may get more colds and flu, and possibly a bad fever.

I need to do something about this. The weaknesses are frightening me. It's scary and freaky. I need to try to sleep, even if I toss around for an hour, which I tend to do lately. I need to get my feet back on the ground. It's time to be serious. There's lots to do at this point of time.

Wish me luck. To all of you who have sleep deprivation, try sleeping. Try taking this vitamin called Sweddish Bitter before sleeping. It helps. Maybe I should take it now too. And remember, sleeping pills do not help. It only causes more problems.

Till then, too loos.

Recently ...

Recently, I've been going out almost everyday, meeting up with different groups of friends. It's been fun and entertaining. My friends are keeping me busy and so are my family members, both close and extended. It's a pity though that I won't be spending Chinese New Year here and receive the ang pows I deserve. Gosh, I'm gonna miss the festive season full of joy and love. And not forgetting the food only served on Chinese New Year.

I have about eight days left till I fly back to Australia. There's much to do once I return. Get a job!!! Seriously, I need a job. I can't lie around doing nothing anymore. This routine has to stop this instant. It has to be productive, rather than lazying around. It's about time. I've been studying for awhile now. Time to earn some money and save 'em all.

Of course, I would be looking forward to more sweet memories with someone called D :). And I know he would too. We've been apart for about three weeks now and it feels like time is flying far too slow. When we're together, time flies faster. When we're apart, time flies too slow. I wonder why though. But, I guess this just makes our relationship stronger and stronger :). Another week to go sweetie :).

I guess that sums my update for the day. Looking forward to see my cousin, Alison, her husband, Genard and her son, Nathan, who is also my nephew ;). Too loos all. Till next time.
