11:00pm:
This is how it all begins. Usually I’m at least 24 hours into an episode of insomnia. My eyeballs are seeing eyeballs. I can’t sit up. The TV is just an object. So I get excited. Put on my favorite tshirt. Crawl under the covers. Turn the lights off. And:
2am:
Is that a new speck on the ceiling? I wonder why they call it a popcorn ceiling? When I was six I made a horrible mistake. I wonder what the kids did tonight. I’m going to turn to my left side. That’ll help me fall asleep.
4AM:
If she snapped, the ID channel, it must have been his fault. Oh shit, I didn’t pay my, insert bill. I haven’t spoken to, insert person who I never speak to. I took that sedative. Why aren’t I sleeping?! If I wasn’t such a depressed loser, I’d be sleeping. Only losers and weak people suffer from depression and insomnia. I’m going to turn the air on. I sleep when it’s cold.
5:30AM:
Hears stomping- guess the guy upstairs is getting ready for work now. Do I have any appointments today? I really need to get my life together. I’m going to work on my business today. I don’t think I’m good at it though. Look at my strong successful friends. I don’t have what they have. I’ll probably stay broke forever. Loser. Wonder what I’ll have for lunch. Wonder if I’ll leave the house today. It’s been a week. I wonder why that man killed his wife.(an article I read 2 days ago.)
6:25AM:
My eyes are closing. *yawn* Here comes sleep. Ahh…… What’s that noise?! Insert- horns blowing, dogs barking, sun rising.
6:30AM:
Guess I’ll get up and have some tea. Let’s see what the news is saying.
I’ll sleep when I’m dead. Isn’t that the saying?
Sipping tea- “Dead is looking real good right about now…”
