I haven’t been able to sleep. I’ve had bouts of insomnia throughout the latter half of my life, but this is just getting ridiculous. I want to be able to sleep before 5a.m.
When I feel like I could fall right asleep, and when I really, really want to do just that, it just so happens that I’m with people doing something.. watching a movie, riding bikes, talking.
When I’m alone in my livingroom, the only light coming from the television, I’m wide awake. Maybe I’ll just sleep on the couch tonight. Last semester, couches became more familiar to me than beds did, so maybe if I slept on the couch, I’d be better off. Familiar.
I could pretend that I’m really on a couch in Hale’s basement. Those are always the best naps.
[as an aside, i tend to be pretty good at preteneding i'm somewhere i'm not. i.e.: the library's couch when i'm really in my livingroom an hour and a half away. ]
Anyways, I guess I haven’t much to say. Hope all is well with you folks. Things here are fine; just miss a few people here and there. It happens. ]
I’m sorry to hear you can’t sleep! First semester, I’d almost always be struck with an urge to write when I laid down to sleep. I wouldn’t get sleep, but i’d get pretty good poems…
maybe try to do something you’ve always wanted to do but never seems to get done in those bouts of insomnia.
Good luck!
