Cut Off Time

-

















Aspen Towers
Ottawa
1995

Ottawa has long winter with lots of snow
With short summer and short day light
In those days I was suffering from
my long time Insomnia


My Physician office was located inside
Carlingwood Mall
15 minutes walk from my place
I was in the waiting area for my turn
on the wall of the Office was written
tips for a healthy life

 I still remember some of those tips
It was mentioned that more than 40 %
of people in Canada are suffering from Insomnia
due lack of enough sun light, short summer
and longer period of winter

That topic was of my interest
It was suggested that
regulate your timings to go to your bedroom
stop worrying about sleep
give yourself a cut off time and stop
all of your activities around you at that time
switch off TV or whatever you are busy with
go to your bedroom with a book of your interest
to read for a while

Close your bedroom door even if you are alone
in your house to give a clear signal to sleep
Don't look at your clock any time of night
If you are still awake make your bedroom
light dim

There were lots of tips I remember just couple
I just focused on two tips and believe me
it worked
I cut off all my activities around 12 midnight
My computer is in my bedroom
I switch of light and my computer and close my door
rarely it happens that I had disturbed sleep nights
Sometimes small things make big difference
in your life, so keep your eyes open

You never know you can find something
somewhere

    @ mrizvi semble que vous êtes accroché sur ces blogs, mais pourquoi avez-vous même pas la peine d'écrire "bon poste". Vraiment?

    @ Anonymous, not sure why you are reading a blog which is in English and writing comments in a foreign language.

    @ mrizvi: I wondering if you read these positive blogs. If you do, then you would not have reacted so aggressively.

    I am not offended. My intent was to let you know that these are powerful reminders for how we (including me) should be living a happy and positive life.

    My apologies if you found my comment offending

    Take care,
    Karen

Bird are busy picknicking

    Beautiful morning sunny and bright. No more rain. We had already more than enough of it. Grass and flowers, don't need any watering. It is 26 C, hot day.   This is weekend, I have to do my hair color. My friend invited me for afternoon tea. I will go there. It is always good to be with friends and family. We have to accept invitations, to make our day. I think, calls are sort of blessings. Signals from God for us to gather happiness. Life is nearly the same for everyone. It is all up to us, how we take it.  Try to give color to the moments in hand. Sitting idle, doing nothing, won't bring happiness. Try to be active, do something, anything you like to do. Go for walk, to look the scenery around.  Some people like outdoors, some not. They like to be indoors. Find the spot of your choice in your garden / balcony, get book / magazine of your interest, to be happy. Bird watching is beautiful. You feel great, watching them doing things, you get invo...

Nature is great

     October 29th 2024 It's a different scenario today. Cloudy morning hazy sky. Sun is hiding under his gray blanket. It is Tuesday so I don't have to go to work. No Darts today at the library. It is a day off for me. I have to make other plans to make my day. Day offs are like clean slates. We have to write our schedule to fill out the columns of the day. When we have to go to work or school, our timings are all set.  We don't have to worry about how to pass our time. We have just a couple of hours left to sort out after coming back from our workplace or school. Weekends and day offs are tricky. We need some homework to fill out our day slots. Try to make it like a combo, a mixed plate to have a taste of everything. Day offs are like blank sheets. We can write, paint, whatever we want to do, to fill out. Every day is like a container with twenty four hours of consignment. It's delivered every morning.  We have to open it and use to finish it up. It all has to ...

Have a taste of Nature

      October 22nd 2024 Great morning 18C. It is like summer for Canadians. Couple of more days to enjoy the outdoors.  Beautiful leaves of all colors are everywhere giving a scenic look to the atmosphere to behold and to cherish these moments. Nature is amazing. There is always something for we Humans to make our day. Take some time off from your day today to look around. You will find beauty everywhere. It doesn't matter in which part of the world you live. Don't have to plan for long trips. It is all at your doorsteps. Keep your eyes open and take a break to smell the nature around. You will get the flavor and also inner peace deep down. It will be a rare happiness all on its own. You don't have to make any payments, any investments for that. Just a time alone slot and all the transactions will be done. It works like meditation. It's 11.45, I am at Tim Hortons enjoying my small tea, not coffee today. We have to change our menu too. It works something like a change...
