sleep deprivation

Post 1

Juliet

everyone needs sleep. my body knows that it needs sleep, but my mind is not so in tuned with my body and for the most part the natural action of sleeping is deprived. I stay up late and surf the internet and chat with random losers who like me, cannot sleep. My eyesight becomes blury but when i lay down to rest, i acomplish nothing. i waste hours of my sleepless nights using Gnutella to download music videos and clips of poor souls suffering in pain for random acts of stupidity. My mind becomes a maze of wandering thoughts with no direction or rational order to it all. I wander through the hallways of my mind wondering why i cannot sleep. I wonder and ponder and wish i wouldn't because perhaps my thinking is depriving me of the much needed sleep i am not recieving. But i cannot make myself stop thinking. That would be impossible. i would forever think about not thinking and in doing so, would be thinking.
I suppose i am not one to recieve sleep. I stay up all night cleaning and surfing the web. I write emails that are in reality incessant ramblings, but they seem to make perfect sense in my head. I stare at the walls and try desperately to sleep.
at last, sometimes, in the wee small hours of the morning i manage to drift into a restless unconsciencness. This last a few minutes, perhaps a few more, and then i am rudely awakened by the alarm that does not care if i have slept or not, because now it is time to wake up and start a day. how do you start a day when the last one just eneded. simple, live the life of an insomniac and hope you don't fall asleep while driving and kill someone.
it is 5:32 am and i haven't gotten a wink of sleep yet. my alarm will go off in one hour and i won't have slept. yet i doubt that my alarm will care. what a sad, cruel world. i will kill my alarm if it goes off, but can I? What would wake me from my few minutes of anxious slumber the next morning. sleep, i need sleep!
