Horribly familiar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

4am wide awake club.<\/p>\n

What is that about?
\nLight\u00a0\u00a0 virtually all night and my head is like a toyshop so I am here. Writing this. The sky is blue, I have seen a jogger, 3 squirrels, a milkman, a drunk. Insomnia is a bummer but at this time of year it doesn’t feel so bad. Sitting gazing out at the bright blue sky, with a dog asleep on each foot. I know in my heart of hearts I must go and live in the sunshine one of these years. In my dreams (when I used to be asleep long enough to have dreams) it would be a warm, wonderful place offering health giving delights, then\u00a0about 8pm the sun would go down so the light sensitive freaks – of which I am one – can sleep soundly through a midnight dark night.<\/p>\n

Nurse Ratchett not the Night Nurse I had in mind<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have worn ear plugs, eye masks, socks, I’ve tried Nytol herbal, Nytol pharmaceutical, and as a last resort Night Nurse but I am such a woos I am too scared to take that 2 nights in a row in case I get addicted. Yeh I know. As a well known swigger of the wine it is the irony that it’s the Night Nurse I am warning myself against.<\/p>\n

So, a\u00a0 pint of Creme De Menthe, a dark cave and total silence sounds like the only answer. Only problem with that ? It’d be so dark and quiet I’d be terrified.<\/p>\n

You see this insomnia it\u00a0turns you into a rambling, baggy faced gargoyle.<\/p>\n

Yup a good plastic surgeon that’s what I need off to google one now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
