Hi Everyone,
Thank you to all those who read and liked my previous post: What to do when you are bored? Many of you found it useful, and it made me feel good that I was able to help. Keep the love coming in. When I read your comments, I feel very shy on the outside, but deep inside, my soul is dancing.
The other day, I went to check out my brother’s new college along with my parents and Abhu. Because of COVID-19, they allowed only two people inside. So, naturally, Papa and Abhu went inside. Mumma and I were left on the footpath. Here is what I did to beat the boredom:
We admired the nature, took a walk. I took over the camera and clicked lots of selfies. Later, I took a flower and decorated my Mumma’s hands with the petals. Luckily, she had Fevicol with her. We also made the Fevicol dry on our hands and peeled it off imagining we are snakes!

What to do when you can’t sleep?
When I was in Junior KG, till my Senior KG, I had little insomnia (yes; I know this BIG word – I read a lot – remember?). So, as I was telling you, I had a little insomnia, and I used to stay awake till 3:00 AM.
I used to play on the phone or with my toys all the time. And even when I got on the bed, I used to keep tossing and turning – it would irritate my family who was snoozing away!
I started sleeping on time once I got into the first grade. Yes, suddenly the New Year changed my life!
For some reason, when there was a pandemic outside, I could sleep peacefully.

I guess it was when my mother introduced me to Michael Sealey’s videos. Most of you may not know who he is. But let me tell you, his videos changed my life. She doesn’t remember how she found them but to this day, my brother, my dad, mom and I listen to his sleep hypnosis videos. All you need to do is switch on his videos and close your eyes. Within 5 minutes, you will get the best sleep ever!
You can try: Dissolve Stress, Deep Sleep hypnosis, Falling Asleep Fast, Primal Sleep, Morning Meditation, Meditation Calm, Finding your Life’s Purpose or Deep Healing. There are many more and all are very good and will help you sleep peacefully.
Here are some more tips to help you sleep better:
- Start a sleep routine, my Mumma makes me pick up my toys, brush my teeth, take a wash and change my clothes. I am a big girl now, so I do it all by myself.
- Stay away from video games and screens. It’s the most difficult thing for me but then my parents can be pretty firm!
- Try and read a book that will help you sleep. A super boring book usually helps me.
- Share with your family member that you can’t sleep. A pep talk with them helps me sometimes.
- Ask your family member to tell you a story. This is the best solution for me. My brother, Abhu usually tells me stories. He has even simplified A Song Of Ice and Fire for me!
- Call your parents or your friends and talk to them. My parents enjoy this and so do I.
- If nothing else works, then listen to sleep hypnosis videos (try Michael Sealy he is good)
I really hope my tips help you sleep better. Please try my tips and let me know if they helped you.
