keep awake longer

This is not an endorsement, so I shan't mention any names. I swear to you all I'm about to say in the following sentances are tried and tested by yours truely, Me.

I'm not exactly a morning person....or rather, im NOT a morning person. Ideally. i believe that the sun should stay in the sky for about 6hrs before I slide my lazy ass off my bed. That is what I consider "Sleeping Enough". If I am forced to wake up every morning when my body clock still says "Sleep sleep!!It's still night!", I will most definately be grumpy for the whole day and only be able to stay alert until 11am before keeping my eyes open will be a battle between body and mind.

Recently, due to work, these sleep-withdrawal symptoms have been showing more often than not, and getting to work is a chore, resulting in me falling asleep with my mouth and head hanging rather unglamourously on the way to work in the car. That was until my mum bought the miracle cure, the elixer, Proclaimed by many a chinese sinseh to be the secret to alertness.....CHICKEN ESSENCE!


Yes. In the beginning i was like you; suspicious, doubtful that this small bottle of bitter-tasting black liquid would help me in any way. For someone who doesn't even drink barley, and only drinks Yeo's Chrysenthemum [no other brand, mind you]...this was a torture. But I tried it.....and after 2 days, I felt alive!


I no longer stare listlessly out of the window on the journey to work. My sense of Humor has stopped being a vampire. I even have the strength to make corny jokes to the otherwise quiet car, brightening the day of those who are lucky enough to be in my exalted presence. Its like Viagra!


You just HAVE to try it.
