My eye bags are bigger than ever. Seven straight nights of battling with sleeplessness is really not good both for my health and my physical appearance. I look and feel exhausted throughout the day. I sometimes even wander around the office like a confused and weary man so early in the morning.

Maybe this is because of way too much thinking about my upcoming vacation. I am going back home in a little over a week’s time. I am as excited as a kid having his first ride in his very first bicycle.

What can I do to get more sleep? I’ve added extra time and program to my regular gym routines assuming that if I tire myself more it’ll be easier for me to get some shut eye. Ineffective! I’ve tried reading a book while lying on my bed. Ineffective! I’ve tried listening to relaxing and soothing music while closing my eyes hoping that when I open ‘em again it’s six o’clock in the morning. Still ineffective! I just keep on tossing and turning from side to side.

Is there any device available in the market which aids insomniacs? How about pills? Oh no, forget about the pills. I hate pills. Sigh…
