My Insomnia is Woody Allen.
12:15 AM. "If only I could fall asleep. Fall asleep. Fall asleep...."
1:22 AM. "I'm still not sleeping. I wonder if I could fit a nickel in my gum wound? .... WHY can't I fall asleep. I'm sooo tired. Awww... this sucks. Fall asleep. Fall asleep..."
3:28 AM "I'm still awake. Why can't I fall aslee -- Wait a minute... It's 3:28! I don't remember anything since 1:22 AM. I was asleep! Awww, this is unbelievable, now I'm awake again! Arrwwrrgh. Fall asleep. Fall asleep!
3:47 AM. "So a vegan robot walks into the hibachi restaurant and orders sliced rump meat. Rump. What a peculiar word. Word. Word. Word. Word is a really strange word. Wwwweeerrrd. Word...."
3:48 AM. "Fall asleep. asleep. asleepa. asleepa. asleepah. asleepahtnight. Hmm. 'asleepahtnight' is really stetching the boundaries of a word...."
3:49 AM. "One sheep. Two sheep. Three Sheep. Four sheep. I bet I can use the Force to levitate sheep all over the countryside"
4:01 AM. "I wish I could fall asleep..."
And scene.

Is your insomnia chronic...or occasional? I have to get up and totally distract myself with mindless tv or a book. Having a thyroid out of whack can also contribute. Hope you get some sleep soon.

Insomnia for me has been occasional rather than chronic. I had dental surgery two weeks ago and it's been brutal since then. Turns out Naproxen in heavy doses was keeping me up. Lately, it's been somewhat better, but I think the energy of starting a new job, ongoing recovery from the discomfort of tooth removal, is still keeping Woody around in the shadows...

I must be too young to appreciate the connection between Woody Allen and insomnia? Try reading Lord of the Rings. It's a good cure. Good books, but good gracious they were hard to finish!
