Last night I almost pulled off something that is sacred nowadays. I was so close to actually falling asleep the moment my head hit the pillow. But I distracted myself and that cost me that opportunity.

What robbed me of what would have been the perfect sleep, was a four minute video on youtube. It was political in nature and focused on how my country’s former Prime Minister, secretly went behind his own government and political party’s back to grant himself unprecedented powers.

Now, for the former Prime Minister Scott Morrison, that’s actually not that surprising. Seeing as he lied about being on holiday in Hawaii while our country was gripped by the worst bushfires on record during the December ‘Black Summer’ Bushfires of 2019. That is just one example from his 3 years in power.

So, I shouldn’t have clicked on the video, because of course something like that was gonna have me fuming. After watching it, I brushed my teeth and then hopped into bed. What followed was an hour… maybe two, of me going over in my head how it is a national disgrace that that man was our leader. And how the mainstream media, the people who pat themselves on the back in the most self congratulatory manner, positing that they “Hold power to account”. Gave someone Scott Morrison and his government, free pass after free pass, for three years.

Imma stop there, this isn’t a political channel and you’re probably not from Australia, so why would you what to know that. The point is, the thing that I said would happen… happened. My mind tormented me with thoughts for ages.

This is why I need to follow my own advice and turn off all devices at least an hour before bed, ideally even earlier. I guess it’s good to relearn a lesson than never learn it in the first place.

Use my last night debacle as a warning or inspiration to do the right thing. Because let me tell you, that 4 minute video was not worth the sleep I lost. Dang…

Thanks everyone for the huge amount of support you’ve all be dishing out to me, I notice it and greatly appreciate it my Hedites.
