Today, I Learned...
Jul. 17th, 2010 04:26 pmDon't tell Twitter you have no intention of taking a nap. Doing so will have you falling asleep about ten minutes later.
Don't set your iTunes to some mellow ambiance tracks without first putting those tracks on a separate playlist. Eventually, iTunes will run out of that genre and keep going on down the line, until it inevitably runs into something with a very loud intro that will scare the piss out of you. Especially don't do this if you're struggling with sleep, and even have the potential to suddenly fall asleep before adjusting the volume on your computer speakers.
Don't forget to reset your iPhone's ringer back to the vibrate setting. Especially if you had your ringer up to maximum volume so you could hear it when you were in the bath this morning. Penn will give his daily Bugle, and your phone will ring, scaring the piss out of you. This is particularly bad when you've passed out on the sofa.
Don't expect to get any decent sleep if you do decide to take a nap, problems with iTunes and Penn aside. If you're not sleeping at night, when it's cooler, sleeping during the day when temperatures easily rise above 110°, even having a fan pointing directly at you will do no good if it's on the lowest setting.
Don't wake up ant try to analyse the dream you had, no matter how fucked up it was or how real it seemed. Especially if life has been particularly stressful lately. It was just a dream, and you'll forget all about it in a while, anyway.
