Missed on writing two days in a row because I don't do music and slept when I should have written, whoops!

This is the third post on the two nights of suspiciously strong sleep I've had in the last week, the previous posts went about what went wrong and my theories on what might have happened, this is going to be about how to deal with it.

Here's the thing: I don't listen to music unless actively listening to it and planning on it. That might be a mistake, perhaps if I want to be productive, I should be putting on some tunes that make me feel energetic, inspire me and want me to work? Because music has been known to modify moods, put people in a productive mindset and lead to great works. Perhaps, I'm hoping, putting on an album of Nima Rumba songs or the likes, will help me relaxed and make me more energetic. That's what some people do, when they're sad they listen to songs to validate their emotions, when they feel like they need a pep talk they listen to inspirational music and so forth. I...don't do that, treating music like reading a book, whatever may come, at whatever time, not really as a mood modifier.

And generally speaking I don't use much mood modifiers either, no tea or coffee, I don't drink booze and don't smoke weed basically ever when on my own, and don't listen to music at any time except when with a group where the point is to listen to Nepali songs. So this is a boring af life, not 'optimized' for joy and happiness, and extremely boring and functional. No wonder I feel it heavy and relentless, I don't give space to myself for joy and fun.

So the goal is to have avoided the unexpected bout of deep sleep by listening to good high-energetic songs that would have inspired me to write here instead. It's unclear if that works or just a wishful thinking for me, so will try to run experiment on myself, listening to songs that I like to make me feel energetic and see how things come up.

Fingers crossed, wish me luck!
