sleep

i can't sleep.

main reason being i've missed my bedtime, which is at 10pm. it's now 3:11am and ..i'm online, blogging.

oh, i know i can get to sleep, only thing is that i'm kept awake by my absent sleepiness and the drip-drip-dripping of the aircon. i know that i can get to sleep if i listened to the silence that wasn't there (say, if there weren't dripping and i'm only listening to the hum of the aircon.)

i know it reads ridiculous but if you tried it you'll know how effective it is. seriously. listening for the silence that isn't there is a good way to get to sleep when dealing with drippy whatnots. meanwhile though, i remain sleepless because my eyes, though tired, simply refuse to entertain the idea that it might want to rest - it's a little like how you might feel when you realise you'd survived the holocaust because you ducked into the kitchen for a bit of a snack - it'd missed the bedtime.


oh look. a yawn. there's hope yet.
