I’m having horrible insomnia, this is the third night in a row with very little sleep (so far). The worst thing about insomnia isn’t the discomfort of being sleep-deprived, it’s the mounting panic you get from being so unproductive due to not having slept, which makes it even harder to relax and sleep.
I’ve never taken proper sleeping pills for it, but an insomnia veteran recommended a valerian extract they sell at the chemist’s without prescription. Unfortunately the four I’ve taken tonight haven’t really worked so far. The package says the effect is stronger if taken with alcohol, which sounds like a challenge to me. Sleep – the Heath Ledger way.
Apropos of nothing: my dad and sister like to make fun of me for not having realised at some innocent age that Freddie Mercury was gay, but now it turns out that Brian May didn’t know either, so there.
