For the last 2 weeks oredi din have good sleep jor de.... but last 2 days become worst... no matter wat time goto bed... must roll roll on bed for hours oni fall asleep .... & after fall asleep still will keep wake up in between....

How do you know you're not getting enough sleep?
Common symptoms are:
irritability got
waking up unrefreshed got
problems with short term memory and concentration got
heavy snoring with choking episodes dunno

So cham lu~ ... dunno why :( Shud be too stress or depression jor ....

When can sleep problems be a sign of depression?
Sometimes people who are depressed may fall asleep easily, then wake up in the early hours of the morning, unable to fall asleep again. On the other hand, some people with depression may spend a lot of time sleeping. I think i m very depressed jor ... coz hard to fall asleep & wake up very early :(

How can you improve sleep?
Keep lights low before bedtime. To feel sleepy your brain needs to produce a chemical called melatonin, a natural sedative. But being in a brightly lit room or in front of the computer makes it harder for your brain to produce melatonin, and this delays the drowsy feeling that helps you sleep.
Try to get up at the same time each day. Sleeping in can make it harder to get to sleep at night. You should expose yourself to bright light as soon as you get up to 'reset' your 'body clock'.
Avoid things that keep you awake including coffee, tea and cola drinks (they contain caffeine), and nicotine. Nicotine, like caffeine, is a stimulant. Dunno greentea will got effect mar? Last nite yam cha I drank Ice Lemon Greentea ... :x
Be wary of alcohol. Although it can make you relax and fall asleep, the relaxed feeling wears off, making you wake up in the early hours of the morning, feeling alert. Alcohol can also cause snoring which can disturb your sleep and that of others.
If you're doing work at home, allow one hour to unwind. A hot bath or shower helps you to relax. Follow the same bedtime routine, such as having a warm drink or a light snack, reading or listening to music: let your body know you're getting ready to sleep.
Don't watch TV or read in bed. Although these things help some people sleep, they can also give your brain the idea that bed isn't just for sleeping - and this can keep you awake. Ops... I always watch drama b4 sleep... :x
If you can't sleep, get up, go into another room and do something relaxing until you feel sleepy. This is another way of 'training' your brain to associate bed with sleep. Ops.... I just keep roll roll roll on bed nia.... :x

So xin ku now.... :( .... dark circle more dark.... face more chan...
