3 am scramblings

I'm sleep deprived.

And I'm at that stage in life where whatever I do, I want it to reflect as positively on my life as possible. Ok, so now what? I am sleep deprived because my brain doesn't shut off like normal people. And when people ask me to do so. I don't obey. Mainly because I think if it works for them doesn't necesserily mean  it will work for me. And secondly, I don't think it is possible for me either. So most of my sleeping time usually goes in trying to catch the sleep train. And hence I've decided, I am gonna let my brain do it's work. I'm gonna let it tire itself out and shut down on its own. Well, I don't know how long I can go through with this but, Imma try.

I thought I'll make this 3am rough book where I'll gather my 3am thoughts. No no, I really have some ground breaking, brain cracking thoughts at around this point of time. So I thought better to get them down on paper than letting them slip by. You know what ideas cost, don't you?

When I was reading this book 'How to live 24 hours a day', I came across this really great thought.

"If my typical man wishes to live fully and completely he must, in his mind, arrange a day within a day. And this inner day, a Chinese box in a larger Chinese box, must begin at 6 p.m. and end at 10 a.m. It is a day of sixteen hours; and during all these sixteen hours he has nothing whatever to do but cultivate his body and his soul and his fellow men. During those sixteen hours he is free; he is not a wage-earner; he is not preoccupied with monetary cares; he is just as good as a man with a private income. This must be his attitude. And his attitude is all important."

What an attitude! What a piece of mind! This article actually inspired me. Well, there are a few consequenses though. Sleep evasion on an undefined schedule. May affect health somehow. But don't you think sometimes what you do and how you do are more important than the after-effects?

So, why not scramble away!
