Sleeping In Sadness

Oh, look it's 3 in the morning.

There are nights that are not always meant for sleeping. Night shifts, 24/7 convenience stores, working overtimes, etc. There are also nights which I call, sadness or misery.

I would rather not sleep in such a state. It's crooked, downgrading rest. Nights are mostly meant for rest, but sleeping in sadness is like sleeping on nails with a big boulder above your head.

Cheer up! are two words to uplift a sad person. But how can sleeping in solitude and sadness cheer one up? Waking up long at night can be tiring but would it be worth enough to find ways to cheer oneself up?

If there's the internet, surfing it can be fun but most times boring especially when the internet has become part of your world. Reading books can divert imagery but books only that don't require too much thinking. Sing or listen to a song would be something but at that emotional state, one might rather listen to slow tempo or a ballad or even be tempted to listen to the most depressing songs than rock-and-roll. Movies can be good "downer's drainer". Find good movies like maybe comedy, drama, kiddie, etc, better not some chaotic movie.

Escaping sadness is impossible but can be a habit. A person who hates ignorance (like me) is very much ignorant about these things. Don't know if trying to drain those sorrows by escaping or running away from it is even permissible. It can be beneficial for a time but it always is going to catch back at you.

Don't take my word. I'm only writing here.
