Everyday of my life, mostly, I woke up at lunch time, except if I simply had to go somewhere important in the morning, such as going to school, getting driving lessons, going for interview, meeting friends etc. If I had just no planning on the morning, or just getting up to fill in the morning, its just doesn't happen. Whether I go back to sleep, or I didn't get up at all.... This somehow troubles me, for I did always miss my Subuh prayer if I went on like this. So as to convert this, I did some Google research, and found these tips:
Make a checklist of what will you do the next day. Whatever activity would be practical. Like tidying bed-place, jogging, making breakfast etc. But something pop up in my mind. I did plan to work on this, even promised my aunt to go for a jog together. But its still hard for me to get up. Apparently, we still went for the jogging thing, but we're always behind time! Well that's not a good start. Ok, this point doesn't help much for people who'd always being a late lady like me
T_T...
“Dengan nama-MU ya Allah, aku mati dan hidup” (Riwayat Bukhari & Muslim)
Before going to sleep, pat the pillow three times while 'berselawat ke atas Nabi s.a.w'. Wish in your heart to wake up early in the morning. Insya-Allah tomorrow you'll be awaken on your own. Not to mention I also did recite some 'doa's like bismikallah humma ahyaa wa a-muut. But still, it doesn't work all the time. For some mornings, I did woke up, but cannot get up! Thats the mistake here. Huh, I really should work on my attitude... Nevertheless, I think I should continue practising this praying session. Its for God's bless. And its much much important for me to be doing this, as a Muslimah and as His servant.
Sleep early. Ok, this is very opposite to what I am doing now, blogging in the middle of the night. Also watch tv, mostly TV3 until the clock strikes twelve. Yeah, right. So that's what keeping me from getting up early.... I see. I know it can't be helped too. So...., what will be the solution? Hmm, after putting some thoughts, my mind still rejects the idea of sleeping early, because this house is too noisy, with the sounds of the television, the laughter of the family members, its just not right to ignore all that while struggling to sleep in an 'unclosed' bedroom. 'Unclosed' here means that the door of the bedrooms in my house is shut tight to the wall and cannot be closed at all. My dad did that as to prevent from 'his' children got pinched by the doors (it did happen when I was small), so he(dad) doesn't want that to happen for the second time. Back to the topic. So when you are badly disturbed with all those sound trouble, how are you gonna get a nice cozy sleep? Now you tell me! And another thing, I've got this other kind of problem too. In daytime, I can't focus on being stuck in front of the computer most of the time because there are times I am needed in the kitchen, for doing chores, picking people from school, go to work, meet friends, go here, go there..... You know, there are even much more work to do. Even at night, lets say between 8pm-12pm. At this period, other family members also want to use the computer, like dad wants to check the gold rates (he's a gold merchant), check on the printer, install new stuff and read newspapers online. Mom and sisters often wants to do their homework too. So, where's my time to go online at this moment? The only choice left, is to do it past the bedtime, that is in early morning, 12am-6am.... It is a matter of choice, I know. And this is what I choose. Maybe I'll improve the current schedule as soon as I get to further my studies. Like being in campus, or whatsoever...
e.g: solat sunat tahajud, solat sunat taubat, solat sunat hajat and tens of other optional prayer available. In my experience, its hard for even to start. I did tried once. That time, its so quiet, and dark, and 'creepy'. It feels something not good is watching me from my back. And I really don't want to see it. Huh, the film 'Jangan Pandang Belakang' is so influential these days. Until I get back to sleep, the feeling is still there. My comment, this is what I call a 'test'. A test whether I am strong enough to get rid of the disturbance, a test whether I am brave enough to go through for another shot. Did I pass the test? Only I know...
Once you opened your eyes, you said, " Hmm, still early, better get another 1 minute sleep". If you said this, and did what you said, you'll be sleeping for another 30 minutes, or even longer! So,
don't ever put you head back on the pillow once you get your alarm clock off! As for me, I'm seldomly awakened by the alarm clock, because when I slept, I'm in deep sleep (tidur mati). Sorry to say, but its the reality. Most of the time, my family members woke me up, sometimes the mosquitoes and the hotness of the room made me awake, and also at times I heard the muezzin's call (azan Subuh). Most of the time, I simply can't get my head off the bed! The burden to continue all the sweet dreams is just too strong! Oh God! Is there something I could do to get up??!!! Please!!! I'm stuck over here!
After waking up, get yourself a glass of warm water. Do not eat anything just yet, wait for an hour before you start biting your breakfast. This is because its the process of making new blood and washing away toxin (kotoran) from your body. In a good way, I think I'm gonna start this habit tomorrow ^_^. Even in the past, I did woke up in the middle of the night for several times. The uncomfortable surrounding often made me quite thirsty. Am I being dehydrated during sleep? Often, when people woke up, they tend to ask for water. Is sleep make people thirsty?
