Sleepless



Two years ago, I often couldn't fall asleep at night. Luckily this is no longer a problem, only once in a while. But when I had trouble sleeping, I came up with some methods, so that I would actually get some sleep. So now, when I can't fall asleep at night, I usually do one of these three things:

a) I get out of bed, put on a sweater and open up my window. The nightwind and the stars really help. It's actually even better if there are no stars, but rain instead - I LOVE rain, and the rhythmic sound it makes is so relaxing.

b) I go downstairs, make a cup of lavender Tea - lavender makes you sleepy. I bring it upstairs, go into bed, with the Tea and a book. After 20 minutes, it's hard to keep my eyes open.

c) This is purhaps the one that works the best. When I can't fall asleep, I turn on my iPod and connect it with my speakers. I've made the most incredible playlist, it works like a charm. Sometimes I put it on, even when I'm tired and very able to fall asleep, but this playlist makes me sleep like a baby. It makes me dream the most amazing dreams. The only bad thing is that it is almost impossible to get up next morning, because you have had such a great night of sleep, and want to keep on sleeping.

Here is my magical playlist "Slow night so long":

  • Notes - Tina Dicow
  • Cruel to the Sensitive Kind - Tina Dicow
  • Norway - Beach House
  • Slow Dancing in a Burning Room - John Mayer
  • Spider's Web - Katie Melua
  • Night Cab - Tina Dicow
  • Sunrise - Norah Jones
  • Svo Hljótt - Sigur Rós
  • Gravity - John Mayer
  • Piece by Piece - Katie Melua
  • The Prettiest Thing - Norah Jones
  • Sacre Coeur - Tina Dicow
  • Cold Desert - Kings of Leon
  • Helpless - Mads Langer
  • Sé Lest - Sigur Rós
  • Lampshade - Kashmir
I hope this will help you out of those sleeplees nights, and make you dream away into deep seas and foreign countries.
