I guess I'm not meant to sleep. Well, at least not for more than 15-20 minutes at a time.
It's all mental. I'm rereading a book I know well so that there is no element of suspense or anticipation. I fall asleep with the book in my hand. Less than 20 minutes later I'm awake with my mind already engaged in a worrisome conversation. I toss and turn.
I notice every ache and pain. I notice every wrinkle in the sheet. I notice where my covers feel heavy and where they don't. I can't get comfortable in any position. I grab the book. In 10 minutes, I'm falling asleep again.
If I put the book down, take off my glasses and turn out the light, I'm awake again.
I'm getting a little tired of this. Okay. I'm a lot tired of it. :)
