IPad Insomnia

Do you find yourself in bed and before you fall asleep, you check a few sites on your iPad then later be shocked that it’s 3 AM and worse you don’t remember what you read or watched? I don’t know about you guys, but I feel with technology we are consistently stimulating our minds with useless things. It’s a cycle that doesn’t stop.

For example, I’m going to reenact my iPad insomnia and you can tell me if you had a similar experience. I’m going to give you the gist of it because there’s too much to cover. It’s bed time and I check my Facebook one last time before I head to bed. Then I see that my slickdeal.net window is still open. I read couple deals, then one hits me. Amazon has a sale on Samsung S3 Virgin Mobile phone that I was thinking about upgrading. 

I spent a couple of moments justifying that the S3 barely came on Virgin Mobile network and they were selling it at retail price. I purchased the phone through amazon for 20% less, then thought about the differences between the S4. I spent a significant amount of time researching the differences and came to the conclusion that it’s only a few improvements that I would enjoy. However, that wasn’t enough, I had to do a cost analyst of getting the S4 through T-Mobile’s network compared to Virgin Mobile that I’ve been using for over a year. 

So, I logged back on to Amazon and cancelled my order and then I did a comparison with the HTC One with the S4. After giving so much thought I decided to go with T-mobile S4. After all the research is time for bed. But Wait! I start to see ads of HTC One Google Edition and S4 Google Edition. I think to myself WTF, I have to know what this is about.

Several sites and video later, I learned the difference and check the time and it’s almost 3 AM. I start to get pissed because I spent useless time online and now it’s 3 AM, which cuts into my daily gym routine. I spend another hour kicking myself in the butt until I finally fall asleep at 4 AM. What a waste of a night, don’t you think?
