Some Advice For When You Go To Sleep

with 6 comments

If you’re suffering from insomnia and you’re flipping around the channels on the television because, well, you have insomnia and watching the tele is a lot easier than reading a book, don’t don’t don’t watch the History Channel when they have on a program about the end of the world and the Mayans and Nostradamus and some Southern dude who seemed to predict people’s medical problems and WWII before WWII happened. Because eventually you will fall asleep and your dreams will all end up being strange people coming into your room reading every medical problem you have (or may soon get) and then calling and texting you about how the world is going to end. And 30 seconds after they call or text all the things start happening. And you’ll start getting scared and freaking out, so much so that you’ll wake yourself up and still be scared shitless and start searching around your bedroom frantically making sure no strange people is in there with you.

So, yeah. Just thought it might be helpful.

  1. I have a bad habit that, when I can’t get to sleep, I’ll start to think about all the bad/upsetting things that I have going on. So I don’t have dreams influenced by scary historical things, but I do have dreams where people show up who I don’t really want to see in there and I usually wake up fairly upset. Who would have thought getting a good night’s sleep would have been so difficult?

  3. Whew. That mid-night/morning paranoia is the worst ever! A few weeks ago, I got a weird call from a number I didn’t recognize, at 2:30am. When it went to voicemail, it was just a lot of white noise with some faint voices. Because I was half-asleep, I was convinced it was someone calling me from BEYOND THE GRAVE. I really thought so.

    But then it turned out my friend in another time zone was programming my number into her phone, accidentally hit dial, and threw her phone into her purse. That’s what I heard.

    In the middle of the night, the most ridiculous conclusion is ALWAYS the one you’ll go with.

  4. Gah! I hate those shows and refuse to watch them. If it’s true, do I really want to know about it? No. No, I do not. And if it’s not true, I’ll get myself all worked up about it anyway.

  5. ICHD-see, I would think that was either someone playing on the phone or stalking me. I do love that you thought someone was calling you from beyond the grave. I just, it kinda cool. (don’t ask, I’m weird)

    Fraulein N-I actually kinda love those shows. I seriously want to know if all those prognosticators (okay, mostly the Mayans) were right. But at night is kind of a bad time to watch them.
