Dudes, I can’t sleep.
My insomnia is back with a vengeance. It’s been 3 or 4 months since I had trouble sleeping and tonight is the 5th night that I am wide awake after midnight. I am bone tired. No sleep, not even drowsiness. You name the remedy and I have tried it. I was very sleepy earlier in the evening so I ran to bed thinking that I could doze off before my body realizes what happened.
No such luck.
In between sleep and wake, I hear the blaring sounds of fire and police department vehicles. I am telling you, all hell broke loose about 1.5 hours ago. So I step out of bed to get a glass of water (since the police seem to be speeding through my living room from the siren volume) and I see smoke and flames bellowing at the window. A major fire in the middle of the bleeding night. Why can’t people set their houses/factories on fire at 3 p.m.? I don’t need any sleep disruption aids. I am tired, folks. I have this funny taste in my mouth from sleeplessness.
I hope no one is hurt. I really do. I know I’m exhausted and a little numb but fires are horrific and I pray all living things are outside that inferno.
