Insomnia

[Scran_Bag]

I used to dream about being an insomniac.
Now I just can't dream.

I slept and dreamed that life was beauty,
I woke to find that life was DUTY !

Ah, " To sleep, perchance to dream "
If only.
I need a cure. Know of one?

Sure do, read some of the post on here by Levers Aligned. Does the trick for me :lol:

Been following R.R. for some time now. It attracts all sorts, me included.
I find LA's views mildly interesting but I think that I need something more tangible for the blessed sleep to come.
I've tried drink, drugs, & drink & drugs but I still view too many sun-rises than I wish to.
I think that a working lifetime of watches & shifts has bust my main spring in my body clock.

I'm told that the ol' 9MM tranquilizer works wonders.
The drawback is that it tends to be somewhat permanent.

Have you tried reading a Michener novel?

 

[Scran_Bag]

I suspect that the 9mm solution may cause too much sleep.
Don't think I know of any works by Michener what's his/her usual topics?

I spy the first glimmers of a rosy fingered dawn breaking ( that's poetic, not a tale of Lesbian love ) . Soon I shall be able to remove my cape & crawl back into my coffin that is known as day-time.
