Thoughts lately come to your from a bout with insomnia...

1) When I can't sleep I have the double-edged guilt of looking at the clock and thinking, "I'm not going to get up at a decent hour at this point" to thinking, "I might as well get up now because it's practically morning and then I'm an early riser."

2) If I fall asleep with my ear bent over even for a few minutes, the agony will last forever.

3) When I do mange to grab a few minutes sleep on these nights, I usually get extremely odd visuals. Last time it was a human-sized Furrby who was a much-in-demand court recorder because he could multitask and do one machine with each foot.
