Insomnia

[dalekboy]

The last week or so, I've been going to bed late. I've put it down to being crook and getting up unusually late. It didn't seem to matter what time I went to bed, I wasn't close to being asleep by 2am. I took it that I had stuffed my sleep cycles.

The last couple of days I've ahd late nights and early mornings with the desired effect - last night at 10pm, I was knackered and ready to collapse into bed and sleep. I was in bed by 10 past 10, lights out, all snuggled and warm.

And I didn't sleep.

There are times when you don't think you've slept but you've actually been dozing. This wasn't one of those. I lay down and BING, the brain kicked into overdrive and wouldn't friggin' shut down. I was still awake at 2am! Bastard!

Been a while since I had an insomnia cycle. I'd forgotten how much I hate them.

Considering I've seen defintions of insomina that include 'taking more than an hour or two to get to sleep', I've had insomina since I was about 11. But it's been worse the last couple of years - an earthquake saw to that.

Brought to you by 2 hours of sleep. Waiting for the purple monkeys any minute now.

Btw, I want to throw scads of money at you, but need to know how much postage will be for those DVDs.

I've been having sleep problems lately as well, but of a different sort. Opening night for the play I'm working for is less than a week away and we still haven't finished at least half of the props and puppets. Some nights when I'm making stuff I allow myself 3 or 4 hours of sleep, some nights I work straight through and get no sleep.

For the TARDIS i went over 48 hrs without sleep.

Damn I hate short deadlines.
