Howdy folks π€ happy Sunday to you all. It has been a while since I published an article here, my last article was 3 days ago (Thursday) and I should have published one yesterday but I have been feeling demotivated lately, probably because of the stress of writing for 2 different blogging platforms as well as coding every day, sometimes it feels like my head is about to explode π.
I have been watching movies throughout today (I can't remember the last time I did that) and now I am feeling much better about blogging. Sometimes it's good to do something different, something that's not part of your daily routine, it gives your brain a chance to reboot. I finally found the strength to write today but unfortunately, I didn't have an article lined up, so I will take a cue from the random questions I saw in Jane's article earlier today.
Light on or Light off?
I don't have any particular preference as I can sleep comfortably in either of these conditions. Most of the time it's light off and it's not because it helps me sleep better (as I said, it doesn't make any difference) but because it helps me to see things on my phone much better.
During the day, I like to keep my room dark, especially when I am watching a movie or playing mobile games because it helps me to see details much better when I don't have to deal with an external light source which can be a distraction. But when it's time for sleep and the light was already on, then I can just leave it that way if I am too lazy to go turn it off π.
Light or Heavy sleeper?
I am a very heavy sleeper, all thanks to my mom π. My dad is a very light sleeper, he wakes up at every slight noise but my mom? She sleeps like a log of wood, she can probably sleep in the middle of a battle, and just like most of my traits, I also got that from her. Once I close my eyes and go to sleep, I don't open them until it's morning.
This is the reason why I don't even bother to set up alarms coz I know I won't wake up no matter how many times they ring, I have to rely on another person to wake me up if I have something important to do scheduled for a specific time. But what if I am living alone and there's nobody around to wake me up? There lies the problem with heavy sleepers
Fan or no Fan?
Honestly, I can go both ways. If it's very hot and I have access to a fan, sure I will use it but if there's none, I can easily cope with heat coz it hardly affects me. My friends have always wondered if I am human because I put on a jacket when I am going out most of the time even when the weather is extremely hot!
One or Several Pillows?
Just one is okay for me, I don't see a need for more than one coz the only thing I use them for is to elevate my head and only one pillow can do that. I am not a fan of cuddling or hugging pillows, I find that too uncomfortable for me. I also like to stretch out and use all available space on the bed, if there's another pillow there, it will probably find itself on the ground π.
Early in bed or Late sleeper?
You already know the answer to this from the title of this article, I'm a nighthawk, I have been this way since childhood. I remember how I used to stay awake and wait for my dad to finish watching the news at night and go to bed, so I can take over the TV and start watching movies till my mom comes and force me to go to my room.
I can't even remember the last time I slept before 11 pm (unless maybe I am sick), most of the time it's usually 1 am, on rare occasions it can extend to 3 am but it doesn't happen all the time, just once in a while. I know it's a bad habit, but at least I still get 6 hours of sleep daily, no matter how late I stay awake.
Thin or thick blanket?
Not a fan of blankets, no matter how cold it gets I will just make use of a thick jacket. I have tried using blankets in the past but after a few minutes of using them, I start feeling like I am suffocating, even when it's not covering my face! That probably means I am claustrophobic, I haven't figured that out yet
PJ or Comfy Clothes?
Whatever I am wearing! I can even go to sleep wearing jeans π I don't usually pay attention to what I wear to sleep, it doesn't really make any difference for me if it's a PJ or even a suit, I will still be comfortable sleeping in any of them and as soon as I close my eyes, I won't even remember what I am wearing.
Thanks for reading πππ
