Lights on or off and other questions

Another unplanned post for me today. I have been having this uncomfortable headache when I woke up today. It started on the front of my headache and now it's radiating to the temporal side. While the pain is tolerable, it's incessantly throbbing.

I decided not to do anything online again. Rest is valuable. It's the start of another work week so it's a must to ready oneself to be able to get through. Whenever I feel this kind of headache, I drink coffee and it relieves it. It's been two days, going on three days that I haven't had coffee. I don't want to be dependent on coffee for this.

Anyway, after I powered up in Hive (no posts done there), I came here for a bit and saw Jane's post I Wish To Be A Heavy Sleeper and that's where I got these questions from. Now, I have a topic to write. These gave me the idea for a post.

Let's get on with it.

Light or Heavy sleeper?

I used to be a light sleeper. A slight movement or any sound can wake me. Age changed that. There are still times that I can be awoken by such but not as easily as I used to. I do fall into a heavy sleep when I am physically tired or I haven't had proper sleep for days. Now, I can say that I am more of a heavy sleeper, tired or not.

Fan or no Fan?

No fan. I think this is one of the privileges of living in the mountains. Our climate here is cool almost all year round. Summers are tolerable. Our weather is almost rainy the whole year round.

I do recall though back at home that there are times when heat was unbearable during the summer months that we did use a fan. We only have one fan back home and that was used by my brother in his room because it was a small room and not much ventilation and he sweats a lot that's why he needed a fan. When I do sleep in his room when he is not around, I do use the fan too.

One or Several Pillows?

Although I have several pillows, I only use one when I sleep. I use several pillows to prop myself up when I am lying in bed doing whatever I do on my phone but when I go to sleep, I only use one. I interchange the pillows. In the beginning, we only have one each. The rest were used by my niblings and brother when they were living with us. Since they moved, we had to put those pillows in our room to avoid them getting moldy.

Early in bed or Late sleeper?

Early to bed for I have to wake up early as well. There are still days that I like to stay up late especially when blogging or when it is not a work day then I can choose to sleep late.

Thin or thick blanket?

This depends on the kind of weather we have. Now that -ber months are hear, thicker blankets are the choice. If not, we use two thin blankets.

PJ or Comfy Clothes?

I remember having PJs when I was younger but as I got older, I don't have PJs but rather comfortable clothes that I use as PJs but most of the times whatever clothes I am in or my house clothes, then that serves as my PJ as well. Saves laundry.

Drink Milk or Water?

I have never built the habit of drinking milk before going to sleep. Back when I was working nights, my sleep pattern had been thrown out of balance. I tried doing things that would help me get some sleep such as reading or watching or drinking milk. Sometimes the milk does the trick but most of the times, it did not so I stopped doing that. I drink lots of water throughout the day though.

So there goes my sleep post. How about you?
