Insomnia

* long winded ramble*

People wonder why I don’t worry about my insomnia. I’ll tell you why.

Why do we all spend so much of our lives wasting time? The average person will spend almost every 24 hour period the same. Most will sleep 8 hours and work 8 hours and that leave 8 hours. 

 So much of that 8 hours is then taken up with rinse and repeat mundane actions like travelling to and from places or going to the shop or hanging out the washing or doing housework or looking after those pesky kids. We literally just exist.

When we then eventually get an hour or two to actually relax and do something what do we do? We do very little.

We facebook or watch the same shit on tv over and over again. We go to the same places and see the same people and eat and drink the same things. We think we try loads of new things but we don’t in the great scheme of things.

I have seen the same Mickey Mouse fun house 3 times this morning. I will never ever get that hour back in my life. It’s gone. Over. never getting that hour back. Typing this has been an enormous waste of time as well.

Jane is still in bed. Mia went back to bed. It’s just me and Ellie and her immense ability to eat a whole slice pan of toast. My brain never shuts down. It never stops. It’s a massive massive hamster wheel and the hamster is on a mixture of red bull and lucozade and is turning that wheel 24/7 at 120mph. Always switched on and never slowing down.

As I said the other day im alive over 13.500 days or something like that. 2/3 of that time has been a complete waste of time doing the same stuff over and over with the odd exception of some spectacular events holiday etc and putting out the bins which I live for.

We are not but should be in control of our destiny.

If a normal sleeping person is alive 13,500 days (making them 36 roughly) then they have slept 4,500 of those leaving 9,000 days. Out of those 9,000 days they have worked or been at school 4500 etc leaving 4,500 days to actually live. You can be sure over half those days were a complete waste of time doing those rinse and repeat everyday things. Then there are people out there who never ever try anything new at all whether its food or holidays or an activity. That is just simply crazy to me.
Try everything, go everywhere you can, see everything you can see, meet people you can meet. Even if it’s taking a different route to work or just having a pint in a different bar or calling to a friend you haven’t seen in years. Do something today that you have never done before or in a long time. There are millions of possibilities within your control today to do.I  have been awake the same lenght of time as any 70 year old yet im only 36.

Just don’t sleep though

now see why i count myslef lucky im awake more than you.lol
