Creaky

I am supposed to be going to a leaving do after work, but I think I might skip it and go home. Suddenly I feel very tired (it’s not yet 3.30pm, either) and I have been distracted by an odd flickering in my peripheral vision on the left side of my left eye. It’s stopped now, but I’d like to be able to sit without my glasses for a few minutes without having to look at the computer screen.

It’s my own fault, really. I should go to bed earlier in an evening. I keep meaning to, but suddenly it’s 1.30 or 2.00 am and I’m still up and mucking about on the computer or some such. I should wean myself off these late nights – particularly during the week when my alarm goes off at 7.00 am.

The trouble is, most times if I do go to bed early, I just lie awake until my normal sleeping time and get bored in the meantime though the last few times I have managed to fight down the urge to get up and make a cup of tea, which is what I tend to do when I have your actual insomnia.

Overall, I don’t sleep badly, I think. I just don’t get enough of it. Must do better.
