When your body tells you it's time for bed but your brain won't let you

Why is it that before you go to bed, your eyes can't stay open; but when you turn the lights off, your eyes won't shut?


I occasionally like to check my horoscope. Its interesting to read.


I just read the profile for the Chinese Zodiac on horoscope.com and I must say, I do agree with a majority of the things they say. Especially the part I highlighted.

"Much-misunderstood Rooster is the tenth sign of the Chinese Zodiac. These people are complex. They appear very attractive and sure of themselves. Some are the strong, mysterious and silent types. Some are aggressively chatty. They can win you with charm or be your worst nightmare. Roosters leave little middle ground. 

Roosters approach life is expansive. They have high hopes and a strong desire for success. They are willing to put in the hours and do the work that builds success in any area.
Under all that bluster is a very traditional person. They are good-hearted and mean only the best for others. Roosters are excellent workers and do amazing things with limited resources.  

Rooster people believe they are always right. They believe it so strongly that they are convinced they must bring all others to their point of view. This can become tiresome in the extreme. Roosters love a good argument. They are blunt, honest, and will not worry about being diplomatic. Roosters need the energy they generate from debate. 

If you want to be friends with a Rooster, you need to dive right in. Be prepared not the take things personally. This is someone who hates admitting they are wrong.

Positives:

Perfectionist, resilient, courageous, passionate, protective, responsible, industrious.

Negatives:

Opinionated, blunt, conceited, rude, impatient, aggressive, bossy"

Coincidence? Most likely. Its unlikely to think that a zodiac can describe the personality of everyone born in the same year. It is also likely that these horoscopes were made up by some person with a lot of spare time.

Either way, its interesting to read. Sometimes, my horoscope gets lucky and parts of it are accurate.

Horoscope for tomorrow (19 May):

"Be careful not to lose your temper today, Scorpio. You're chomping at the bit these days, although your daring nature has been reined in by financial and professional constraints. It's useless to entertain grandiose illusions at the moment. Moreover, if you do, you can expect some confrontations. If you're advised to be more conservative, heed the suggestion."

Hmm. Interesting.
