Snooze and Music

It feels so great to be able to sleep a good 7 hours and wake up bright, albeit rainy, and early the next day. In spite of the rain, which I am finding rather comforting despite the intensity, I am looking forward to the day ahead. I am a right proper night owl, you see--but over the last couple of weeks I have crossed the fine line between night owl and zombie! I've always had an irregular sleeping pattern, regulated only by work and a proper schedule to follow. Without anything official really at the moment to keep me busy, my insomnia returned and took a turn for the worse. Most days I would stay up at night and, to try to make up for it, sleep the whole day. On other days in between I wouldn't be able to sleep at all. It was getting pretty exhausting already, not to mention unhealthy! I was doing 'nothing' yet I felt tired all the time. My insomnia this time was induced by several different factors. One, most definitely, was the pressure to find the 'right' job. And the anxiety that comes with thinking about and sifting through the options. Another was boredom. I'm really looking forward to working and getting busy again. But they do say patience is a virtue.. and good things come to those who wait. So I decided this time to really hear what everyone has been advising me to do--the very logical 'stop worrying and trust that everything will work out.' Because I did my part already after all. Now's a good time to be optimistic.

So with a little help from a mild sleep aid and some sleepy time tea, I tucked into bed early last night and so willingly drifted off. Today I feel refreshed.. and got pretty excited when I saw The Script's announcement that their first single Hall of Fame from their upcoming album, #3, will be played on British radio stations on Monday the 23rd. I'm too big a fan to wait for the single to reach Philippine airwaves. Thank God most radio stations today live stream their programs. If you are reading this and would like to hear the single sooner, too, catch it on Monday, July 23, 3:30 PM live streamed on any of the radio stations listed here. (I could really just be a publicist hahaha I think I'd do the job well!)
