SLEEP LOG: sunday, january 4
I decided to keep a log of my sleeping habits. It might come in handy someday. As such, I've been sleeping with my laptop plugged in and set up beside my pillow now.
Slept at around 12am, woke up at 3am.
Had another dream/nightmare. This one was about a father and a son having a confrontation, debating their versions of the truth. Of course, one party never really cared to know about the truth, instead just ate up whatever parts of the story was fed to him. Funny thing is, he went on with the debate anyway, speaking when he should have been listening, and then argued as if he knew the truth.
I'll just put it like this:
Imagine there was a perfectly yellow pencil on a table between two people (person A and person B). Both A and B know that it's a yellow pencil. Person C walks into the room and before C gets to the table, B stands up, prevents C from sitting down at the table, and tells C that there's a red pencil on the table, knowing all to well that C never actually saw it.
Soon enough, during a debate about the color of the pencil, C comes in and takes B's side, saying the pencil was indeed red, because B said so. Whatever B said is fact. B is always right.
Frustrating as hell. Now what am I supposed to do at 3 fucking am in the morning? I could change into my trainers and try to get a really early morning run, but I honestly don't have the energy since I just slept 3 hours ago.
Anyone have any ideas? How do you stop a nightmare? I don't want to pop any kind of pill, medication, or any other form of chemical/substance anymore. I don't have any problems sleeping. It's the staying asleep and going back to sleep part that I'm having problems with.
