weary insomniac

awoken with a start, in an instant. i assume. i presume. i'm guessing. or at least that's how i think it happens. all of a sudden i'm tossing in bed. my eyelids are heavy but still i check the time.

i will myself to sleep. it just gets worse. one thought creeps into my head and occupies all consciousness. questions arise. i entertain them. i indulge in them. one thing leads to another.

too many thoughts to stay awake. not enough thoughts to fall asleep.

i get up and try to do something, anything to get back into bed. then i realise how quickly time has passed, yet it keeps on ticking.

you must not will yourself to sleep, silly. you need to surrender. give in. give up. then you fall into a sweet, deep slumber.

that'll be $100 for consultation.
