Why Can't You Sleep?

I need to listen to the radio. BBC Radio 4, and then BBC The World Service. I wake up during the night to odd bits of radio, which I half remember in the morning, or which sometimes gets interwoven with my dreams.

I need to get a tiny radio so that I can sleep when I visit other people.

Also, at the moment missing my meds will keep me awake and fucking uncomfortable for hours. Almost any caffeine will keep me awake too. In fact, there's a bunch of stuff that'll keep me awake, but I have zopiclone for that.

Because last night I found out my godfather has 3-6 months to live.

I need to be covered to sleep too.

I'm the same as most of you, need a heavy blanket with a fan running, and I prefer it to be super cold in the room so my bed is uber-cozy. It also helps a bunch if I read until I just about pass out.

Sucks in the morning when I get out of bed and it's about -12 kelvin, just a touch chilly.

I need something covering me, even a sheet will do, a naked female body is preferred however

Oh yeah and I usually need some music to get my brain to stop.

Edited to add the music.

Big trucks backing up outside my window. Annoying hippies that walk by chanting at 3 am.

on a side note, I'd like to point out that I fucking adore the BBC world service. it's my late night listening of choice... tho usually when I need to keep awake.

It's not a neccissity, but I really prefer to have just one leg covered. Not sure why, but it's just me.

I have to have a pillow over my head.

i need my feet to be covered.

i often hold a pillow over my head (odd habit formed from living below the living room in a "party" house)

i need to be on my stomach.

i like to have a fan running or some other white noise to drown out random sounds coming from the street.

sometimes i like to wear what i call my nightcap, which is this tubelike thing i wear on my head over my eyes.

i need a fan. loud white noise...... and no other sounds... bass from neighbors, or wherever will keep me up.......
and since i quit drinking, sleepytime tea.. in massive quantities.. and bayer pm, or nyquil pills.
and a wall on my right side. strange but true.
