Sleeping disorders, work bullshit, and more fun…
By m(A)tt
The other night I had one of my usual bouts of insomnia. If you know me, you know there are two things I love. Cheese, and sleeping. Sometimes, I do so much of it, my sleep cycle gets all effed up, and I can’t fall asleep when I need to. Wednesday night was one of these nights. So after a futile 45-minute attempt at sleeping, I got up and dug in for a good night’s worth of internet time. Yes, that’s a shitty solution to insomnia, but it’s an addiction. One thing at a time.
My mind wanders a lot, and fortunately there’s such a thing as wikipedia. It allows me to enter in just about any topic that isn’t utterly fringe, and get at least a cursory understanding, and oftentimes an in-depth one. So, one thing I was wondering was what exactly insomnia is. As it turns out, it’s a few things. It’s a symptom, which can be caused by any number of problems, and it’s also a psychophysiological disorder where you’re completely unable to sleep, or sleep well. I sleep very, very well once I get to sleep, assuming I have the time.
