Insomnia is a bastard

If there's one thing I hate above everyone on my extensive list of people I hate, it's insomnia. Yes, that's why I'm blogging at 5:40am. It's like my mind is exhausted but my body just won't let me rest. This is the first time I've had insomnia before a work day so the rest of the day is going to be very interesting. I blame the 3 hours nap I had when I got home.

It's a weird sense of disembodiment I get during a bout of insomnia. This however does not compare the feelings of frustration, anger and the urge to simultaneouly kill anyone I come into contact with as well as myself. I think that's why I hate insomnia most of all, the fact that it really makes killing myself an attractive prospect since it seems the only way out. What else can I do? It's too late to go to sleep now even if I could, I've got to be up and out for work at 7:30. I just know that when I get home I'll be wrecked, but if I go to sleep I'll feel like I'm cheating myself. I work all day so that I can have some time to myself at night. If I just fill that with slepp, well it's not that entertaining....there was a point I was gonna make there but I've already got to the stage where I can't finish thoughts.

It's a shame too 'cos I'd just started to dream again. Not every night, but enough. The one where I was in a school of hot female vampires trying to kill me was pretty cool, although it had my heart racing when I woke up because all I did in it was run from room to room trying not to die. The other morning I had one where I was playing the board game "operation" or something and I made a mistake so the buzzer sounded, only it wasn't the buzzer, it was my alarm clock. I lay there for eleven minutes just listening to my alarm without realising. Weird.

Anyway, guess I'll get some breakfast, maybe slit my wrists, or go to work. Whatever.
