When I can’t fall asleep right away, I’ve been getting back up, and doing stuff. Its pointless to sit there and try to sleep when my eyes don’t want to shut yet.

So even though when I’m laying there, I think of all sorts of productive things I should be doing, my brain is kinda turned off by midnight. Quietly, I slip out of the bed, and close the door in the office. Click the winamp button, and load up some music that makes me happy. Turn the volume down low, but just high enough to hear. Just loud enough to sing softly along with it. Very softly.

Tonight’s albums of choice? (with the new Zempt feature of inserting the current song...) Here’s a selection.

While I’m listening, Spider Solitaire is my game of choice. Just enough mindless fun to entertain me. I don’t win very often, but its okay, I just keep clicking new game.

And even though I’m not sleepy (there’s a difference between sleepy and tiredness), I am happy because not only am I enjoying my late night music fest, but I also slept all night last night, with the help of only one ambien (my body is starting to get used to them and so just one isn’t as helpful as it used to be). That’s a first in at least a few weeks that it worked.

Okay, just a bit longer and my head will be tired and the cards will start to fade together. Then I can go to bed.
