Insufferable insomnia. I have to be up in about four hours, and my head is humming like an idling bus.
This is all my fault, of course. Every day goes like this:
1. Wake up after far too little sleep.
2. Coffee.
3. Trudge reluctantly through the day.
4. Realize I haven't eaten all day.
5. Eat. Coffee.
6. Grow powerfully overcome by a post-eating urge to sleep ("slumber" would be a better word here, with its thick damp weight on the tongue).
7. Nap for, um, two or three hours?
8. Wake late.
9. Coffee, if I'm feeling particularly stupid.
10. Complain about not being able to sleep.
It's a vicious and unrelenting pattern. Often sleep is this enormous inconvenience that eats into my work/play time, but sometime sleep is a potent drug that I simply can't resist. Is there a Betty Ford clinic for nappers?
