I Got No Sleep!


I had one of those weird nights last night where I would fall asleep then wake up an hour later. On and off this kept happening then all of a sudden at 4am I was wide awake.

It kind of sucks because I'm actually working this afternoon at 5pm so I'm not sure how I'm going to function today to be honest.

I then thought why not create a list of tips which I've found on what to do when you've had a bad night's sleep.

Let's get started.

1. Coffee 

Seeing as I got no sleep, I may as well start my morning how I usually start my morning. With coffee. I feel like a caffeinated boost will help me to stay awake just a little bit.

2. Shower

 Okay, you're probably feeling a little sluggish after having no sleep so definitely take a shower. You'll feel more awake by doing so and you won't feel as gross. Instead you'll feel clean and slightly normal.

3. Keep Yourself Busy

 The chances are you'll want to be lazy because you're so tired by either laying on your sofa or on your bed watching TV. My advice is don't do this because you'll probably fall asleep and end up sleeping for a few hours then you'll probably screw up your sleep pattern. Definitely keep yourself busy. Especially in the morning. Tidy your bedroom or clean the house. Go for a walk outside. Sit at your desk and do some work. Just don't lay down on your bed or the sofa because you most probably will fall asleep.

4. Take a power nap

 Now it's inevitable that you'll probably feel tired around middayish so do take a power nap but make it a quick one. Keep to around half an hour to under an hour. Just so you get a little bit of sleep but it's not affecting your whole sleep pattern. It just gives you a chance to get some of your energy back and feel less tired for the rest of the day.

 5. Eat

 It's important to keep your energy up, especially when you're tired by eating. Now I don't mean eat anything and everything. Stick to the regular meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner. You'll feel a whole lot better once you've had your three meals a day. You may also have some snacks but try to keep them healthy in order to boost your energy.

6. Get dressed 

This is probably an obvious tip but don't stay in your pyjamas all day. Instead get dressed but not in comfy clothes. Put on jeans and a top. If you wear normal clothes that you go out, you're probably going to find them uncomfortable and you'll less likely fall asleep in them. You'll also feel semi normal and instead of sluggish which is what you would feel if you stay in your pyjamas all day.

So yeah, those are my tips on what to do if you got no sleep the night before. I wish you good luck with the day if you are like me and I hope it is a good day for you. Let me know if you have any tips for surviving the day after not getting any sleep the night before in the comments below.

I'll be back again soon with another blog post.

See you then.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
