We had a visitor at 12 midnight

Last night after I scrolled and read articles on read.cash, I decided to sleep early. I guess it was about 9 PM. For me, that's the earliest time that I set for my sleeping time. Mostly, I sleep between 12 AM to 1 AM. I don't know but overthinking makes me sleep so late at night. Oopss! Was it still night? Nah, it's morning already. I know it's unhealthy but what can I do? I can't avoid overthinking at night. But I do find ways in order to divert my attention to something. Sometimes, I continue reading the book of 'The Count of Monte Cristo' by Alexandre Dumas. It's almost one year since I started reading this and up until now, I am still not reaching half of the book. I guess the old English and French terms make it so hard for me to push through.

Sometimes, I also tried listening to music to attract the sweetest slumber but then it's very unlikely that I will get to sleep when the music is on. I can't because my mind also sings with the song's lyrics. So I ended up putting the music on pause. Why? It worked on me last year but now, I don't know. I am very different from what I was before.

There were also nights when I decided to just scroll Facebook with high expectations that I will get sleepy eventually. But this made me a zombie for I didn't notice what's the time was. When I looked at the time, it's already 3 AM.

I don't know why. I haven't skipped drinking milk every night but why do I find it so hard to sleep at night these days?

I don't want to do this because I know my health will be affected greatly so I devised another plan for me to sleep early. Last night, I turned off my phone at 9 PM so I won't have any distraction when I try to close my eyes. My bathroom trips also made it hard for me to sleep. Fortunately, after several times of changing sleep positions, finally I was asleep.

Meanwhile, I felt someone's moving and I saw a flashlight in the dining area. Our room is near to it so I can see the light's reflection. I just ignored it and continued to sleep but what I heard made me not to sleep again. My boyfriend turned on the light because he stepped on a snake. The snake immediately went under the cabinet and hid there. He called his dad to help him get rid with the snake and that's when I rose from bed despite my sleep.

I turned on my phone and saw the time. It's 12 AM. Oh my goodness! That was the first time I slept early this month but this snake is messing with me. What's even worse is that snake almost get in the room where I was sleeping and if that happens, I can't notice it there and then because the lights are off and I was in the middle of a deep sleep.

I am so blessed my boyfriend was there and he went to the comfort room to pee. If not, that snake will really enter our room and who knows what can it do. With that, I thank God for another life.

Going back to the snake, I am sorry to let you know that it has been killed. My boyfriend killed the snake using an axe. Everyone was afraid of it and we can't go back to sleep knowing the snake is still there. They said it's not a harmful snake but duh? It's still a snake and am afraid of snakes. Knowing that the snake almost get in our room, I didn't go back to sleep and I spent the remaining hours overthinking again. I don't know how I got back to sleep but as I woke up this morning, my head was so heavy and my body was exhausted because of lack of sleep.

Oh my! I want my friends to visit me at home. I want to have visitors in here. But not a snake. I would prefer to get visited by a snake friend because I know how to attack but this kind of snake, no. This would attack without me knowing.

We really had a visitor at 12 midnight.
