…I hate insomnia. Its been something I have struggled with my entire life. As a child I viewed sleep as a form of time travel. I would lay awake, jealous of those sleeping. In their minds they were already awake and starting a new day, while I lay bored in the dark. This was my logic, which became even more excruciating during times such as Christmas Eve. When I could imagine my sister, who could click off like a light, already unwrapping her gifts.
Of course back then it really didn’t matter if I got any sleep. Yes I was bored, but I could stay up all night and still be bouncing off the walls. Now it just sucks.
