Doing everything you're told not to...


Don't drink so much coffee ah. Don't sleep so late. Don't waste food. Exercise more and eat more fruits. Those are just a few common things that I commonly got nagged for.

Only thing is, I just finished my 5th cup of coffee for today. That's 2 short of my normal dose. I'm still having bouts of insomnia caused by work related stress, and am depending a lot of melatonin 5 and sometimes even antihistamine, to get some sleep. Couldn't finish up the food after we went for a full meat buffet at Central. And exercising is no longer for leisure, like the times we used to play basketball. Now exercising is a necessity, fueled by the drive to cut down on an increasing waist line.

Just read an article about dementia, and Alzheimer's disease, and how people who don't get enough shut eye in their mid life would end up with the disease. Which is making me worried that the small stresses now that we are losing sleep over would end up being a bigger problem when we grow old.

Oh well, guess the best cure is to sleep. Melatonin kicking in... good night...
