I am just glad that I get to work from home since my insomnia is getting from bad to worse. When I felt so sleepy and I went to bed, about 10 minutes after that, my mind will start running around and I would be getting more energise than earlier.
And after 20 minutes of lying on the bed, trying really hard to sleep, I would not feel like sleeping anymore. I either get up to watch the movie or read a book or trying to cultivate the sleeping mood again. I even sleep around 1 to 2am on work day which is very late to me as I used to sleep before 12 am. I totally hate it!
Anyway, on Monday, I requested to work from home since for this couple of work I will be working on a project that practically does not need me to liaise with any colleagues. Yeah, if you remembered the ‘compare document project’ that I was involved in the other time. Anyway, I really like working from home as :
1. I could wake up at 8.40am and still not late for work!
2. I could have my idea of delicious breakfast : fried egg with wholemeal bread (and lotsa tomato sauce) + coffee
3. I could go to the park for jogging and exercising at 6pm
4. I could have bread with cheese sausage and choc milk for tea time
5. I could go to the post office at 9am and be back by 9.30 am (work starts at 9.30am)
6. I could cook instant noodle for lunch?
7. I could go lie down at bed for 3 minutes when I am tired
8. I am more focused at my work as I know I need to finish it on timeline given
9. I have the need to be more responsible at home than at work or I’ll feel guilty
10. I don’t feel so boring and sleepy at home compare to in the office
11. I could do laundry and sun my clothes at day time
12. I could switch on the MP3 on the speaker and sing along it
13. I could save a few bucks on the LRT train
14. I save 65 minutes of travelling time (return)
15. I don’t have to think of what to wear in the morning
16. I don’t have to put anything on my hair to make it looks less fluffy
17. I could watch movie while having my lunch
18. I could sleep late due to insomnia and not to be too worried the next day
19. I have a peaceful house all by myself
20. I could watch the house so Mr.Rat won’t have a chance to roam and conquer the house?
Of course there are some cons when you work from home. But so far the pros outweigh the cons and I shall enjoy it for this 2 weeks!

Working from home is a new experience I guess, you get to do your work at the time you are at your most productive hour. By the way, is there any chances that the stress of meeting the dateline causes you this insomnia?
Hey cbenc12, hope you get over your insomnia patch! If too long a stretch, insomnia can cause severe health problems!! Take care!
starting 5th of july 2008, i’ll be working from home, hehe~
Oh so nice can work from home. How I wish I can stay at home
My job allows me to work from home too when i’m not required in the office for any meetings…and i enjoyed each of those things u listed down, except the going to post office & cooking instant noodle lar…
I cook pasta or make sandwitch for lunch, or sometimes drive out to nearby shops for packed lunch. I can go swimming at 5pm since i’m staying in condo!
Infact the pros are surely more than cons, but again i guess, the person’s discipline plays a very important role here…
So good, need any company or not? I can go over and work with you together at your home.
Working from home requires a strong sense of self-discipline. It can get a bit lonely at times.
