I must say that Spring is my favorite season and I love to see how the leaves of the trees sprout and grow thick eventually. I even more like it when I see the bright day through my window when I get up in the morning. The feeling of tiredness and craving for longer sleep are not getting in the way now than in the winter. I go to work at 7am or 8am and it’s not dark anymore. It only means the day is getting longer. I love it!
However, there’s a reverse of the situation because I noticed that I’ve been feeling drowsy and sluggish when I come home that I otherwise don’t feel in the winter. There were times that I went to bed right when I came home from work because my eyes were heavy to bear and would fall off any moment. And it was only around 5:30pm-6:00pm! I tried to get rid of it and thought of starting with my belly dancing afternoon exercise again but my body seemed to be lacking in energy to even insert the DVD into the player.
Incidentally, the local newspaper had featured a topic about depression and sleep in relation to springtime. Little did I know that the sun has something to do with my drowsiness until I’d read the article. I discovered that I was not alone in this situation. Many even get depressed of sunlight and resort to some form of therapy. I, on the other hand, don’t fall into this category – yet. But hubby said that if ever I’d feel depressed I should talk to him so that we both would be depressed, haha! When people fall into depression on early spring, it’s the effect of SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder. To overcome my sleepiness, I followed the trick of someone in the newspaper to drink coffee and do physical activity.
caffe latté twice a day?
I don’t like the brewed coffee here because it’s too strong for me. I go for instant coffee instead, but there are no cafés serving instant coffee. I decided to take caffe-latté the other day for a kick-off try to prevent SAD. I had it twice that day. But the result – I couldn’t sleep that night. Ack! It was the worst sleeping problem I ever had. I ended up having four hours of sleep, which is not good at all.
Coffee doesn’t work for me, I’m still a sleepyhead no matter what I do. Siguro nga, you feel sleepy because springtime smells different and nakakarelax…

mahirap bang gawin yung belly dancing?

Depende sa steps.
Coffee twice a day? naku talagang di ako makakatulog nyan haha. Grabee naranasan ko na yun hindi tlaga ako nakatulog. Glad you were able to sleep at 4 hours, but when it happened to me, para akong Mercury Drug bukas 24 hours, ang mata! bow! 😀

Lol! Nabanggit mo ang Mercury Drug, dinadagdagan palagi ni Leif yan ng “nakasisiguro, gamot ay laging bago”.
Kaya di pala madali ang maging coffee addict. Siguro wala nang tulugan talaga.
sarap naman ng mga coffee sa inyo… 2-3 hours before bed, i take a cup of coffee, sometimes di na nga ako dinner, coffee, yosi at bread, ok na.. but may trick eh, kailangan di ako lumampas ng 9pm or else di na ako matutulog… once antukin ako, dapat ihiga na..

I usually drink coffee every Friday night, kasi walang work the next day just in case di ako makatulog. Kaya siguro nakakatulog pa rin ako dahil it will take 1-2 hours before I go to bed after drinking coffee. Didn’t realize this until now. Coffee, yosi, bread? Nagda-diet ka yata. 🙂
ndi naman… wala lang makain.. hehehehehe….
