From the mind of an insomniac!!! Translated…
One day, a friend was chatting with me via Facebook, she’d told of how her sleep was plagued by insomnia for a very long time, and she’s looking hard to find a solution; from our chats, I’d learned that she’d relied on sleeping pills to help her fall asleep. I’d never had any sleep troubles, so, it was, not at all, easy, for me to empathize with her, but, I’d still decided to tell her my “way to not lose any sleep”, hoped that she could fall asleep soundly every single night, and resolve her issues of insomnia.
Because I’m getting older, there seemed to be signs of my sight deteriorating, it’d made me feel uneasy, so, one day, I’d asked my company for a leave of absence to have my eyes checked out. Afterwards, the eye doctor gave me a dose of atropine, and reminded me, that I should put the eye drop in before I go to sleep every night, wait until the next morning when the effects of the eye drop wore off, then, I wouldn’t have troubles driving to work.
The eye drop the doctor subscribed would make my eyes tingle, and, although it was normal, but hearing how the nurses told me that a lot of the kids, after the drops were put into their eyes, they’d start crying, I’d naturally, become, somewhat fearful of using the eye drops.
That very evening, as I was ready for bed, I’d followed the doctor’s orders, put the eye drop into my eyes, and, naturally, I’d felt the pains in my left eye, and my tears just started coming out, and I’d lacked the courage, to do the same to my right eye. I’d thought, I should just close my eyes and rest a bit, until the painful sensations blow over!
Don’t know how much time had passed, I’d waken up in my dreams, and still remembered how I still have to put the drop in my right eye too, and, my brain kept thinking, “I need to put the drops into my right, so I can, get it over with”, but, I’d found, that the eye drop I had in my hands are gone now. After I’d searched for the bottle for a while, I’d found it, on my nightstand. And, I’d, taken a look at my watch, holy! I’d slept through the night! And, the price of closing my eyes for one minute, until the pain and tingling sensation in my eye had ceased had allowed me to sleep for over eight hours the previous night.
After my friend heard my story, she’d started laughing, “Turns out, those eye drops that give that tingling sensation to your eyes can also help you sleep too, it’s, so amazing!”, but the price, of getting a full night’s sleep, my friend believed to be, too pricy, and, she’s laughing too hard she’d forgotten how to breath, and still refused to use the method I’d offered to her.
And so, this, is one person, sharing what works with a friend who has difficulty sleeping, and the results? The friend had a good laugh over it, and, maybe, the way the writer offered to her friend doesn’t work, but hey, at least, she got a good laugh out of it, and that, is what friends are for, they share their life experiences with one another………
