there is a unit in SGH called the sleeping disorder unit. someone i know went for a test there, couple of days ago. i am not exactly sure what ails her, maybe it was more than one; insomnia+too much dreaming = non-restful sleep. as it turned out, the test was a failure. hooked up with wires and tubes to machines to monitor, among other things; her brain activities and snoring pattern, she couldnt actually sleep most times! because it was too cold, because it was simply uncomfortable. so i think they couldnt get much data to process for that one night stay.

me on the other hand, i think i am developing another mini round of sleeping disordeliness..if there is such a word. i am, i have to admit, getting a lil bit nervous or maybe anxious about the next coming weeks, if not consiously, sub-consiously because i have been waking up a few times in the nights. it seems i am an active processor at night, so when i wake up..my mind is actually awake with thoughts on daily trivialities like "oh did i keep this in the correct place?" that type of stuffs and the "what ifs" in fact i have many what ifs in my mind. so stupid right?

i have to get rid of the negative thoughts. start moving..especially becoz i still have a lot of work to clear before next week :(

i had a sleeping disorder since i was a kid and i don't even know what it's called. i say had because i no longer have it. thank God!

at first i thought i was the only one who has it but found that some people experience it too. so after searching around, i found 'exploding head syndrome' (or something like that). aptly named cos i used to be rudely awakened by really loud explosions every time i fall asleep. so it used to be really difficult for me to fall asleep as i keep hearing the explosions and shocking the hell out of me. the loud bang would also be accompanied by a blinding flash (this is hard to explain, cos my eyes are closed and it's really hard to understand how one can see a blinding flash when your eyes are closed heh).

but it's all good now.
it went away without any tests or prescriptions.

:o)
