Sleep, Racing Minds, and God
Sometimes things make me wonder ...
I was trying to go to bed last night ... it was only like 3am. Lately I have gotten into the bbbaddd habit of going to bed at the earliest 4am or later. So I was trying to be good last night since I did have a 11 class the next day.
So I get into bed ... and of course I can't fall asleep. My mind keep racing with tons of thoughts. I tried some breathing exercises that usually helps me, but tonight I had no help from that quarter. So throw back to my childhood - I said a small, quick prayer. Something like "Hi. Haven't really talked to you in a while. Sorry about that. But you see I can't fall asleep, and I was wondering if you could give me any help?" But yeah afterwards I felt kinda silly and went back to trying anything to help me fall asleep. An hour later ... still not any closer. And then it happened. I felt/heard this "pop" in my head and suddenly all the thoughts just stopped. I seriously felt like God had decided to take pity on poor pathetic me, and just pulled the plug on my thoughts. I barely remember thinking "this is weird/kinda freaky" before I was out like a light.
Well at least I did manage to get some good sleep ...
randomness -- whee! new icons!! And of course they are Naruto, cause that series/fandom has consumed my soul. At least it's happy. ^_^ New icon = must use one for this post to 'show it off.'
