One person's musings on their self-evolution journey

Category: A Hard Day’s Night

I suffer from insomnia. These are my nighttime ramblings.

Streaks Both Long and Short

I have two learning apps on my phone. One, called Elevate, provides brain games that help expand vocabulary and quicken mental mathematics skills. The other, called Duolingo, uses a method similar to Rosetta Stone to teach foreign languages – in my case, Spanish.

Overnight Musings

I have a category for my overnight posts, when I’m suffering from insomnia. I haven’t written in it since last October, which is a good sign. A lot of the time, my insomnia is fueled by either nightmares I can’t shake or migraines that won’t go away. Tonight’s a little different: I woke up with… Read More Overnight Musings

Crisis of Conviction

I’ve been a terrible blogger. I haven’t written in my blog in almost a month, and it’s been a rough month for me. I’ve been filled with self-doubt, self-hatred, and plagued with the conviction that if I don’t wake at 6:30 to start my day with my vitals routine the entire day is shot, so… Read More Crisis of Conviction

A Cacophony of Time

Tonight I start the slow process of resetting my circadian rhythm. I’ll be awake as late as I can and sleep as long as I can afterward, in the hope that once more I can get my body back to being unconscious from 11 pm to 6 am. It’s bad enough that I get headaches… Read More A Cacophony of Time
