Insomnia and a cup of tea

After weeks of not getting enough sleep, finally my body gave in. I am now suffering from cough and colds which I really loathe. How could I go out with this? I could live with the colds, but with cough, I really loathe it because I cannot go out in the public. I find it too embarrassing coughing in front of other people and with allergic and dry cough like mine, it’s really hard to just hold “barking” until I reach the comfort room. Also, with cough and clogged nose, I cannot sleep that well during the night so I was like having a catnap always. That made me feel like I am insomiac because no matter how short my sleep is during the night, I hardly sleep during the day. Sometimes, I even force myself just to relieve the headache due to lack of sleep. Yesterday was the worst, I guess. I barely had 3 hours of sleep. Got a clogged nose, itchy throat and a bad headache. I am forcing myself to doze off in the afternoon but I can’t so I was thinking if that situation persist for days, I might need a sleep aid to put me to sleep. I was actually thinking of drinking a glass of milk but I had a tea instead. However, it helped me have a deep sleep that I didn’t even finished my work at 1AM because I am already dozing off in front of the computer. A cup of tea is only what it takes for me to sleep well. And after Ace left for work this morning, I went back to sleep and woke up just before lunch. Now I’m recharged….but still, with cough and colds. Bad.
