Yay, today is my birthday, and it's scary at just how little and just how much has changed in that time. One of the things that has gotten worse (apart from my eye-sight) is my ability to get to sleep..... actually, this has gotten a whole lot worse in the last couple of months.
Thing is, whereas most people seem to go to bed and actually fall asleep, I don't. I can be unable to keep my eyes open, lying on the sofa, go to bed and then be totally unable to drift off. And I don't know what to do about it.
You see, I think it's my fault. you see, I have a really active imagination, and for some unknown reason, lying in a dark room with your eyes closed is really, really good for imagining in. And that's the problem. When I go to bed, my mind kicks up a gear, which isn't that good for the whole getting to sleep bit.
But where I go and what I do while daydreaming are so vivid that I just don't drift off to sleep.
And that's just it. I have saved princesses, fought ork hoards and beaten the devil. I've used blasters, swords, flown starships to countless worlds. I've won World Championships and felt the agony of coming second, I have loved and lost, been truely happy and moved to tears.
With these new experiences to find, touch and be part of, how can I sleep with all this rushing through my mind?? How many people could sleep when they know the elation of winning it all, the joy of love and the pain of loss are but a heart beat away?? Everything and anything just over the next rise. Just waiting to be imagined........
I pity the women who would become my wife, for she will ahve to put up with someone who is a restless sleeper, for the simple reason that my mind takes the night as a chance to be free......
Would I be able to give that all up for a good night's sleep..... now that's the question!!!
