"October 7, 2019"    "Prompt: You wake up at midnight and can't go back to sleep. What do you do?"This happens to me a lot. I go to bed very early, usually around 8:00PM -8:30PM because I get up very early. It is not at all unusual to wake up around midnight unable to go back to sleep. When that happens I do not just lie there tossing and turning. I do not want to teach myself that the bed is for punishment. Usually I will get up and do something. I'll read one of my text books or write some poetry or something. I will find something to do until I wear myself out enough to go back to bed. I woke up last night at one and could not get back to sleep. I have a history midterm to morrow so I grabbed my history book and read some of it. In a little bit the words were jumbling on the page and making no sense. I put the book down, turned out the light, and was asleep shortly thereafter. The last thing I ever want to do is allow my brain to associate the bed with anything unpleasant. Beds are made for two things: sex and sleep. They are not to become torture chambers. If I allow it to become a torture chamber sleeping will be harder for me. "Prompt: Which kinds of scenes from a book or a movie make you sad and which ones make you smile?"I suppose I am not all that different from anybody else. Sad scenes make me sad and happy scenes make me smile. I have seen plenty of times when I would cry because of a funeral in a book or movie.      |
