#739 In sleep, he sang to me. In dreams, he came. That voice which calls to me and speaks my name....


“I love opera!”  “I have seen The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables  about 2 times each. Not to mention the most recent production of The Wizard of Oz just seen last weekend. Being lucky having a gorgeous Opera House in Sydney, Sometimes I ask people if they have ever seen a performance in an opera house and the answer is almost always no. More often, I bite my tongue, wanting to tell them that they don’t know what they are missing but at the same time not wanting to hurt their feelings. However, I am not so lucky as yet to have seen an Opera in Italy which is on my bucket list one day.

Opera and Musicals make me happy. There’s something about a great harmony or high-energy dance break that just makes me straight-out giddy. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that they remind me of my childhood. My mom was a piano player and my father and mother used to sing nearly event night. My childhood memories were trying to act all teenage cool but entranced by their high pitch singing and mum so artistic on the piano. I used to watch them on stage and sitting at rehearsals backstage or in the audience of their productions. When it came to music that got played in the car or over the speakers in the house, it was either showtunes or 80s rock.  

I signed myself up in September this year to see with my sister one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musicals –Evita and am eagerly awaiting this concert. The title character of Evita is one of the toughest “sings” in musical theater. It showcases Tina Arena who I basically grew up with. Whilst she is a little older than myself I remember hearing her sing and being mesmerized. 

The Phantom of the Opera in Melbourne was one of my most memorable moments to date, starring Anthony Warlow and feeling entranced as I felt seduced by the amazing Phantom as he called out to his love of his life....

#436 The Perpetual Sleep with Zerkalo, and Sari Sari



Unlike some of my SL friends, I am such a morning riser. They hate it!!. I love staying up late except I can't unless it is for weekends as I am up and out of there by 5am each morning during the week. I have to for work otherwise I wouldn't have a job. Weekends though I am purely a sloth, but during the week I love my perpetual sleep.  When I read the posts on facebook and hear about people still awake at 4am, and think yikes don't you need to sleep? I giggle at my friends that snore on Skype and think 'Night Night', wishing I could tape their snoring, and they say they don't snore!!

Falling asleep may seem like an impossible dream when no matter what you try to do you are still awake at 4 a.m, no matter how hard you try to sleep you are tossing and turning and dammit get up cause you cant sleep. Good sleep is more under your control than you might think. Following healthy sleep habits can make the difference between restlessness and restful slumber. Researchers have identified a variety of practices and habits known as “sleep hygiene" that can help anyone maximize the hours they spend sleeping, even those whose sleep is affected by insomnia, jet lag, or shift work. Sleep hygiene may sound unimaginative, but it just may be the best way to get the sleep you need in this 24/7 age. 

Here are some simple tips for making the sleep of your dreams a nightly reality:

1) Avoid Caffeine, Alcohol (all the good stuff), Nicotine and other chemicals that interfere with sleep. Caffeinated products decrease a person’s quality of sleep. As any coffee lover knows, Caffeine is a stimulant that can keep you awake. So avoid caffeine (found in coffee, tea, chocolate, cola, and some pain relievers) for four to six hours before bedtime. Similarly, smokers should refrain from using tobacco products too close to bedtime.

2) Turn your bedroom into a sleep inducing environment.
A quiet, dark, and cool environment can help promote sound slumber. Why do you think bats congregate in caves for their daytime sleep? To achieve such an environment, lower the volume of outside noise with earplugs or a "white noise" appliance. Use heavy curtains, blackout shades, or an eye mask to block light, a powerful cue that tells the brain that it's time to wake up. Keep the temperature comfortably cool—between 60 and 75°F—and the room well ventilated. 

3) Apart from the obvious have regular sleep patterns
If you regularly go to bed around the same time your body clock will kick in and the infamous "Yawn" will start and it is your body saying (Hellloooo) I'm tired. Having regular sleep patterns will also help reduce and maintain weight if this is a concern.

If all else fails and the above still doesn't work, then maybe you should visit a sleep specialist. They do free consultations, and it could be something more serious. Alternatively, look at your mattress, clean sheets and new pillow will also help better sleep.
