Insomnia

Very Early Monday Morning:
1:00a.m. Unidentified sound rouses me from sleep. Try without success to identify noise.
1:00-1:03a.m. Use facilities. Wash hands. Climb back into bed.
1:03-1:30a.m. Close eyes-relax mind-watch clock. Close eyes-relax mind-watch clock. Check on sleeping children. Close eyes-relax mind-watch clock.
1:30-2:15a.m. Freak about being unable to fall asleep. Worry about the economy. Mentally replay the day’s conversations. Tell husband to stop snoring. Wonder when library books are due.
2:15-2:58a.m. Worry about my health. Freak about being unable to fall asleep.
2:58-3:10a.m. Resent everyone who is sleeping. Think about avenging the wrongs of my enemies. Crave jelly-bellies.
3:10-3:27a.m. Consider getting up for the day. Scold a rambunctious cat. Close eyes- relax mind-watch clock.
3:27-3:43a.m. Plan redecoration of Master Bathroom. Consider future vacation options.
3:43-4:06a.m. Drift off to sleep.
5:50a.m. Alarm blares. Drag my exhausted self out of bed and straight to coffee maker.
Insomnia stinks.
