Insomnia SUCKS

I suffer from insomnia. Not as bad as some people no doubt get it, but I get it bad enough and last night was a bad one. I went to bed at about 10.30, read for a while and then nodded off at about 11.00. I was then woken by *cough* 'someone' coming to bed at about midnight, and I then was awake until about 03.30 ish. Now, that doesn't sound too bad when you read that, but believe me lying awake for three and a half hours, unable to switch your brain off, listening to the wind and rain outside (which I sometimes find restful, but not last night) just wanting to sleep is not a nice experience. At first you think, "Oh its OK, I'll just get comfy and I'll nod off soon..." then you realise you've been awake 30 minutes. You then start to get a little worried thinking "God I hope this isn't a bad one" (meanwhile song lyrics and layouts of golf courses and things you wanna say to the wife all run round and round your head), which means you start to worry that "God, I need to sleep, I have to get up in a few hours". This then turns into more restlessness as you realise you can't get comfortable no matter what you try, and you look at the clock and its been an hour and a half now... You get the picture. So this morning, I am tired. I have a cold coming (I can feel it, its already in my nose) and I know that little things that normally wouldn't faze me are gonna be getting under my skin today, so I need to try and remain calm, get through the day and get home. Have a good Tuesday all.
