Staring at the ceiling aint as fun as it sounds
So…another 5am…another sleepless night. What fun. What rapture.
Annoyingly enough the list of things to do in this situation is smaller than it seems, because most of the things you can think of are “daytime” activities. Sleep, of course, is out of the question, because if you could sleep then you wouldn’t be deliberating over what to do in the first place.
Reading a book is out at the moment, because I’m nearly finished the one I’m reading and I’d only be getting settled into “reading mode” when I run out of book. And Anyway the subject matter is pretty dark and not the sort of thing I want to be reading in the wee hours of the morning.
Playing World of Warcraft is also out, because the servers are down for their weekly maintenance just now, and anyway WoW is definately a “daytime” thing, even for me.
Watch a movie? Ah, but that then leads to the question of what to watch…I’ve rented Syriana, but that seems like a bit heavy going for 5am…
And of course, while you’re agonising about “what to do”, your mind swings round once more to all the things that are keeping you awake in the first place. At which point theres only one thing to do…
Write a blog post. Ho Hum.
I always found that smacking my head with a large mallet, preferably one with “Sleep Aid” brutally etched into with a knife, tends to get me to sleep… although the side effects are a bit of a pain… the memory loss, the headaches, the horrific visions of the terror that lurk just beyond the senses of man waiting to feast upon our flesh and souls… twitch
Seriously though, hope you feel better soon.
I think you need to go deal with this, somehow. Not that I totally advocate most of what your doc MAY suggest, but sleep disturbances are something that humans don’t deal with well. I know its the first step to really dark times for me
