insomnia in stock now!

at 4, i'm still up. very awake.

i don't have homework. i'm not watching a movie. i'm... this is going to sound weird... afraid of my bed.

about a week ago, i was supposed to go to sleep, but i had drunk 64 ounces of diet coke at denny's and just couldn't. so i stayed up until 7 playing smash bros. melee with my roommates. yes, this is extremely irresponsible, but shut up, i was perked. needless to say, when we were done playing, i crashed. and hard.

but since then, my sleep schedule has been comepletely f'ed. (by the way, "f'd" stands for "frustrated." just in case you were wondering.) the next night i went to bed at 6, then it was 4, then 5, then 3, then 6, then 4 again.

this doesn't explain why i'm afraid of my bed. in truth, i don't know if i can explain it well enough to satisfy a person's insatiable curiosity about my various [ridiculous] neuroses. but i will try.. take this account for what it is.

so after staying up 'til 7, when i went to bed my body felt very... weird. heavy in spots, twitchy in others. it was unsettling. i mean, if you can't feel rested after staying up for twenty hours straight, hopped up on diet coke, then when can you?

since then, i've just been... i dunno... uneasy about my bed. i feel great in the rest of my house, but whenever i lie down, i kind of tense up. i wish this wasn't the case, because being tense before trying to go to bed is a recipe for insomnia. which, if you have read thus far, i've been enjoying lately.

it would be nice to just fall asleep. i'd appreciate me a lot more if i was unconscious for the night.
