An Insomniac's Dream

If you lay awake at night and can't fall asleep, there is a sense of panic that ensues, especially if you have a big day in the morning. There is a train of thought that goes around saying you must sleep and get into a REM state to replenish and feel healthy. Insomnia can be seen as a medical condition that has some negative connotations that by tradition is seen as odd. Those who travel in to different time zones consistently often have difficulty re- adjusting to the clock. But that's just it, it's just a clock, that asks us to conform to the rise and fall of the sun. Civilizations have been built on the light and the darkness. Stories have been written about odd characters who prefer the night, to the day, probably written to scare children into sleeping or getting out of bed. For those of you who do sleep well, I would suggest a couple of 4am awakenings, there is no noise, so it may make you feel uncomfortable, no one is in the kitchen so you can make what you want, there are no screaming kids,  fighting over the TV, the internet runs faster because there is less traffic, the bathroom is empty, the air is fresher outside, there is no car or truck traffic or airplanes in the sky. The silence is peaceful. You may have to pinch yourself to see if you are dreaming or not, I would suggest to medical community, in jest of course, this is known as the Insomniac's Dream.
