Insomnia
hit me like a Cuban boxer this weekend.
I think
I’ve had a grand total of 5 hours sleep in the past three nights. Not sure why
it happened. I never am sure, am I? It just lets me go along unbothered and then
decides to land on me and give me a nasty surprise every now and then.
I
didn’t feel particularly worried about anything before the weekend started, but
obviously by 1.30am this morning I’d found a multitude of things to fret on
while laying there wide awake – impending parenthood, work worries, possible Christmas-related
traumas. None of that is any more of a threat than it was a few days ago, they’ve
just built up in my sleep-lacked brain and become a troubling issue.
I
know what I need to do – meditate a bit so the thoughts just waft away from me,
then replace them with something fun and distracting like drumming or gaming,
then get to bed at a sensible time and catch up on some shuteye. That’s my plan
for the evening, but we’ll have to wait and see how it goes.
