Insomnia - Poor sleep I used to be a great sleeper - to bed at 10pm and up at 6am - 8 hours of deep, restful sleep. But something has changed and now I rarely if ever have such nights and that is even with he help of a sleeping tablet. What does one do in the middle of the night, awake and restless? A default is to watch something familiar on television and hope that it will lull me to sleep; another is to read something that is sufficiently dense that the effort of trying to concentrate will knock me out - Will and Ariel Durant's History of Philosophy used to do this for me; or, maybe, a snack of some kind; and there is always the obvious standby for this group of logging on to Alt and scanning for<b> messages </font></b>or comments on my writings (there are rarely any so this doesn't take long) or doing some new writing (which is often what I do). At some point, my little eyes get heavy and I retreat to the couch and et voila I am asleep for a little while longer. But when I wake again I am not rested or refreshed and am in a funk for the rest of the day. I know - who cares? But I warned you - writing is a way I segue back to sleep. Forewarned is forearmed, right? Yawn. Once more unto the couch, dear friends. |

Still awake and I have used this time to go back and reread some of the stories I have written and comment on them. Yes, this is a kind of self-indulgent ego surfing but I did it anyway. To my surprise, some of the stories are not bad. Not sure that's a good thing as it means I will certainly keep writing. You have been warned - lol.

Thanks. Finally crashed for a couple of hours. It'll be an early night tonight.

smoke some weed, put something boring on the TV, goodnight

Scotch, I think and boring TV should do it.

I drink a cup of Extra Sleepy Time Tea. In an hour I am sleepy

I slept wonderfully last night - thanks - turned out scotch (first) and tea (later) was a winning combination.
