insomniac

To say that I was asking for it is an understatement. I practically invited it. Honestly I saw it coming, I really did and despite my best efforts to forget about it, it still came, the paranoia, the fear, the insomnia that followed my watching of Insidious 3.

My late night shenanigans were documented on twitter where I proceeded to live tweet whatever that I was watching to help me pass time as soon as I decided that sleep was never going to come.

Before I attempted sleep, I watched one of my favourites, The Devil Wears Prada. It was good until the end when the movie ended and everything went quite again. The paranoia came back and when I turned the lights off, it got worse. After an hour of tossing and turning, I text a friend and concluded that watching some movies would be a better option than lying in the dark in fear. At least with the movies and lights on, I could at least fall asleep half way watching.

That was not the case. From my movie collection I have selected to rewatch Frozen and Mulan. After Frozen, it was already almost 5am and sleep was nowhere to be found, I decided to continue with Mulan. I think I fell asleep towards the end of the movie, after the avalanche. In about half an hour later my alarm went off and it was time to start the morning.

This was worse than that time I had the coffee cake, much worse. At least the cake didn’t scare me half to death.
