I've always found it difficult to sleep during the night. I'm much more of a night person than I am a day person.
But lately in my bids to fall asleep so I can wake up before the sun comes up, I have been letting the movie "Fight Club" play in the background until I fall asleep.
It's kind of ironic in a way. A movie where the protagonist suffers from insomnia and can't get to sleep at night unless he attends support groups and cries. Although there are no tears from me- this DVD is my support group. A few months back I had the same need to have it play softly in the background as I drift into a deep sleep. I thought it was just some kind of phase, some temporary restlessness that was preventing me from sleeping- But now it is back.
If you haven't seen the movie, please do not mistake this blog as badmouthing it and saying it's great to help you fall asleep. It is an excellently written movie and the acting is great. The much under rated Edward Norton teamed up with Brad Pitt to deliver something that lies deep beneath our self-consciousness. Doesn't have to be exactly the same in the movie, but deep within us, embedded deeply beyond our strong points, our confidence lays a need. That need being the sense to belong.
Seriously if you haven't seen "Fight Club" I strongly suggest you go and watch it.
