Sleeping Aid

8 hours of sleep is a luxury that I can’t afford until the end of semester. Exams, papers and lab reports are all piling up. Lack of sleep is what’s causing these un-pretty dark circles under my eyes and the haggard look that I’ve been sporting these past few days. My face is sallow, but I somehow managed to gain weight and acquire all these fats in unwanted places.

It sucks to be called fat and its depressing when people tell you, ‘Abah Bern! Ang taba mo ngayon oh. Pumuputok mga damit mo.’

Gahd. Perfect kasi nila eh noh.

Anyway.  Whenever I try to sleep early, it usually takes me a few hours before I fall asleep. I think it’s because my body clock’s so disoriented, it cannot recognize that I am actually trying to get some rest.

I think insomnia runs in the family. My younger brother is having a hard time to get some sleep, and my father gets anxiety attacks every now and then, and he can’t get some sleep either.  Our family doctor recommended a natural sleep aid to help my dad and my brother doze off easier.

So anyhoo. I’m off to sleep now.  I have a lot of catching up to do.
