Winding Down

24th of April, 2006

Winding down before you go to bed is important. Often after a very long evening working in front of the computer I’ll get so tired that I decide it’s not even worth trying to work any longer and I’ll turn off the computer and go to bed. I would usually read a book in bed for a little while before I go to sleep but often I’m just too tired.

This results in dreams of three dimentional arrays, PHP image resizing and how to beat that wierd Internet Explorer bug. Winding down is really important and I should take more time to do it. It’s been so long since I’ve really sat down at night and watched some TV without feeling horribly guilty about it. But watching an hour or two of TV before I hit the sack would really do me good.

I also think it may be a problem of having my one and only computer in my bedroom. A little while ago I was having a lot of trouble sleeping and I was advised by my girlfriend’s Feng Shui consultant mother that I should cover my computer when I go to bed. That helped a lot. I’d still love to get this computer out of my room but the problem is that it plays my music and it plays movies and it does all those other things that I want it in my room for.

My solution is buying a 20″ iMac as a supplement to this old thing. My birthday’s soon.
