Another prompt, or choose one of the two choices again. I really want to finish what I'm watching right now, so I'm staying awake and drinking two cups of coffee. I'm currently on episode 19 of a 20-episode series, so two episodes more and I'll be done. I didn't watch it for two days since I spent the night at a friend's house and didn't have time to watch it there because they had already finished it. If you're wondering what I'm watching right now, it's the Vincenzo. Let's stop babbling and get to the point of this and that edition.

This essay would not have been possible without the initiative of sis @nnashe . This is the link to her article if you want to read it. This or That: Sleeping Habits

This or That Sleeping Edition

• LIGHTS ON / LIGHTS OFF

When the lights were turned on, I couldn't sleep. I prefer sleeping in the dark; I can easily fall asleep in the dark, which is also why I remain in my room for so long since I enjoy the darkness. When I go to bed, I will turn off the lights.

• LIGHT SLEEPER / HEAVY SLEEPER

I am a light sleeper, I have trouble sleeping, and I am easily startled by a little noise. I remember my sister getting a facemask next my bed and effortlessly waking me up despite the fact that she was not touching me or anything else. I simply heard a small noise from when she was pulling on the facemask. One thing is that while I was at my friend's house, I only heard my name and realized that I was the only one who was still sleeping; when I heard my name in a low tone, I immediately awoke. Haha.

• FAN / NO FAN

Of course, with a fan. Living in the Philippines, especially at night, is extremely hot, necessitating the use of a fan due to the lack of air conditioning. In fact, even if it is raining outside or a cold night, I will open my fan and put on my blanket. Haha. Some of you will be able to relate to it as well.

• ONE PILLOW / LOTS OF PILLOW

When I have a lot of pillows in my bed, I sleep well. T wo in my head, one in my feet, and one in each of my sides, but now because I only have four pillows, I have two on my head and one on each of my sides so I can embrace one of them while I'm on that side.

• EARLY IN BED / LATE SLEEPER

I'm always a late sleeper. Sleeping early at night has never been my strong suit. I rarely sleep before 12 a.m. and usually sleep between 3-5 a.m., depending on my mood.I love thick blankets.

• THIN BLANKET / THICK BLANKET

I love thick blankets. When I sleep, I feel as if someone is cuddling me. I also prefer it when my fan is turned on and I have my blanket on. I'm not sure why I like that sensation.

• PAJAMAS ON / COMFY CLOTHES

Both are Perfectly okay with me, depending on whether or not I get the opportunity to wear pajamas. I don't care what I'm wearing as long as I'm not wearing pants because I can't breathe.

• DRINK MILK / DRINK WATER

Water is enough for me. Drinking milk before going to bed merely wakes up my senses, causing me to watch tiktok videos till I can't tell the time and it's getting late.

• SOCKS / NO SOCKS

I don't enjoy it when I have socks on, therefore I don't wear them. You know how it feels like someone is holding your foot? That's how I feel when I'm wearing socks when sleeping.

• BACK or STOMACH / SLEEP ON SIDE

Always sleep on the side. Aside from not praying before bed, I get nightmares when I sleep with my back to the ceiling. When I read a story about a girl being abused by her husband, I was appalled and couldn't stop thinking about it before going to bed. I had a dream about it, and I woke up feeling as if I were in a nightmare because I couldn't move my feet or hands, and I gradually felt as if someone was caressing me and I was urging to yell, but I couldn't. I just think it's a dream, and I close and open my eyes so I can eventually wake up, and then I do. I go to bed around 2 a.m. and wake up at 3 a.m. from that nightmare; it lasts barely one hour. It's bizarre.
