"I won't be able to sleep"

There are those people who read their bodies easily. The ones who say no to coffee or maybe coke past eight o'clock pm as they "won't be able to sleep." I was never one of those people. Partly because I will never say yes to coffee as I just do not like it and mostly because I could always sleep. How to get over this? Put your body in a situation where food does not vary far and do not eat sweets for months. I am now one of 'those' people. It happened innocently enough when I thought maybe I would pick up a chocolate bar all the hawkers were walking with: some 100% Ghana cocoa. I ate it and it was good. Then I lay in bed till three in the morning. Not good. Did that ever suck. No matter the desperation I felt to suck myself under into the peace of sleep I only remained more desperate. All I could do was listen to my mind in its own desperation, "chelsea...chelsea...hey...hey what are you doing...you wanna do something..should we, should we talk?" Tossing, turning and cursing the chocolate finally it was morning and I needed to get up. It only took one nights lack of peace for me to read my body. In some sense it has not happened again. I choose these words because there is still the issue of care packages. Little boxes of love from family. More often than not love comes in the form of edibles. Now when you have the privilege of time on your hands as I do what else do you do but consume it all within the week. Now though I know better than to let anything pass my lips past six. That means I am left with the benefits of being this kind of sensitive: mid-afternoon jitters and spurts of energy. Thanks fam.
