Insomnia by Alicia CzechowskiIf depression is "the black dog" and "the noonday demon," what is insomnia? I want a suitably striking metaphor to describe this "vigilance without intentionality" that kept me up all night. This means a brutal day at work ahead. Thank christ I have Provigil on hand. Well, thank Dr. Farmer, if credit is to be given where it truly belongs.
Ah -- I'm sitting by an open window and it has started to rain. It's been so long since we had rain that I couldn't figure out what that hissing sound was. I had to stare at the pecan tree until I saw the drops bouncing off the leaves to understand what was happening.

I, too, seek the perfect metaphor for insomnia. It's something that has haunted me my entire life. My mother used to sit by my crib and cry with me when I was unable to sleep as a baby.
I wish you well with your blog, I'll be a regular reader.
