Recipe for Sleepless in Jakarta

I suffer from the occasional insomnia. Mostly is triggered by a snoring husband. Rarely, the late night green tea/black tea cuppa.. But tonight is ESPECIALLY bad! Because all these ingredients decided to jump into the mixing bowl at one go...

- 1 tablet of migraine meds taken at lunch time (which contained 100mg of caffeine) to ward off the ominous unilateral headache
- 1 teaspoon of Tie Kuan Yin tea leaves steeped in a pot of hot water, of which the last sip was taken at something like close to 10pm (I should have known better, but alas, confidence got the better of me)
- The snoring husband, which aggravated the caffeine overload
- Finding the right position, shifting from one side to the other with a not-so-soundproof pillow over the opposite ear...
- ... to finding the right room to sleep in (I shifted from master room to the spare room and finally settling for the hall because spare room is polluted by the cacophony of late night/early morning Jakarta traffic
- The resultant: A hyperactive brain with synapses firing off like crazy with all these ungodly-hour activities

It's gonna be a loooooong day ahead.. *trying to fake a yawn*

*smacks forehead* GOSH! I'M SO AWAKE!!
