written at 4:37 this morning: "the fan just stopped running. this is an absolutely awful time for the power to go off. as if i couldn't already sleep.."
maybe the reason that i can't sleep is because i'm not physically tired enough to sustain deep sleep. i can fall asleep at about 10-11, but i'll wake up at 4 or 5 and it's a struggle to fall asleep again. it's not the jet lag because i've never really had trouble with jet lag before (then again, this is the farthest east i've ever gone).
today, i woke up at 4:30. i watched south park, i read my book, i tried some music, but i couldn't fall asleep. sowmya had awoken after an hour and a half, and we walked to the little temple to shiva (the four-armed hindu deity) that was at the top of this hill. the view was surreal, and to think that i've had it at my disposal all this time. i did some yoga, a little meditation, and rather than feeling calm afterwards, i felt energized. as if the energy from his frenetic dance was flowing around inside of me. that's a bit of a stretch, but i definitely felt something. since this inability to sleep past five has become a daily thing, this little hike might fit into my morning routine as well.
