I have sleep issues.
The dominant one is that IMO, sleep is wasted time.
What do you do during this sleepless state?
Do you lay there trying to sleep, thinking about how much it sucks?
Try making that time worth something.
What I do is open up Photoshop and start drawing/painting, or grab my camera and snap some photos, then create a photo manipulation.
I'm usually not happy with them enough to put them in my portfolio because they remind me of that night.
But it builds skill, which makes that time worth something.
When this happens it's not unusual for 5 or 6 hours to go by in what felt like 20 minutes.
The point is that I'm not sitting there thinking about how bad it sucks to not be sleeping.
My insomnia is a personal flaw though, not the result of sobriety.
I can only imagine how bad my insomnia will be when I decide to get sober.
Right now I haven't slept in about 19 or 20 hours and there's no reason to go to sleep now.
I took some benadryl and it just made my mind more active.
This is the bain of my existence.
Always consuming information.
I think I'm more addicted to information than any substance I've ever done.
