Insomnia
just chilling
a cigarette
unlit
coughs
the light flickers
smell of burnt rubber
peeled on asphalt
distant roars
of bikes
water dripping on sink
incessant pings
got to repair that
tomorrow
Yawns
looks across the street
swear there is someone
lurking around
shakes head
got to stop newspaper's subscription
they never get read anyway
blush in the east
sighs
maybe the pills will work
dawn feels like dusk
Where's the bathroom
bleary eyes
trying on the cold blanket
snore a bit
and start awake.

I have a lot of trouble sleeping. A full eight hours has been impossible for a long time, and I'm missing those REMs. I end up dropping off unpredictably.......... where was I? Oh, yes. I know how this feels, although I'm not a full insomniac. Just part time. Great job, Grace.

Oh you lucky you Crowfly. I am almost full fledged.:) I'm lucky if I get four hours deep sleep. The rest...well here I am!

I have been an insomniac most of my life.
Grace, have you ever heard it said that twilight sleep is where poets draw their deepest (and strangest)imagery? The veil is quite transparent for light sleepers. :)

Oh dear you too Holly.. thats an interesting thought. However..I would gladly trade that for say four or five hours deep sleep..:) I'm already peeking into strange transparent worlds as it is. How do get some sleep though.

The main thing is, don't worry about it, unless you are suffering hallucinations in day or falling asleep while operating machinery.

I feel this one with You Idryad.
I was awake the most of last night.
Heard sirens, revving engines,
thoughts of the next days shipments
to go out at work, tax return coming
soon and what to catch up on, etc, etc;
Good depiction...

I'm starting to truly believe this is a WRITER'S ailment...
I too barely get 4 hours sleep ever... N oddly enough
when I'm most able to sleep, it's on rainy days
when I'm ALWAYS having to work! lol
I feel ur pain my dear...
