I have been struggling with bout of insomnia for the last 4 nights. Last night I got to bed around 10 pm, and awoke after a dream (which could not recall no matter how hard I tried) at around 1:30 am. I couldn't get back to sleep so at 2:30 am I took a nice boring book and headed to the couch in my living room. I read until after 3:30 am and decided to try going back to sleep. I made myself comfortable under my blanked facing the back of the couch and tried to fall asleep. Suddenly, I hear this loud electronic music playing behind me. I roll over and there is a strange square device on my coffee table playing this music. I roll off the couch onto my knees in front of the coffee table and grab the device. As I search for a what to shut it off I scream out in frustration "IS THIS A F@%&ING JOKE!!!" I then notice a cord attached to the device which runs under my couch to a wall outlet. I grab hold of the cord and yank it out of the outlet. The music stops. Suddenly I have emotionally overwhelmed by frustration of not being able to get enough sleep for 4 days. I begin to sob uncontrollably. I fall limply to my right, so my right arm and side of my body is on the edge of the couch. My wife comes running into the room. She comes over to me and puts her arm around my shoulders and asks sympathetically, "What's the matter?" With tears in my eyes I reply pitifully, "I just want to go to sleep." I continue to sob and she hugs me........Then I wake up. I'm still on the couch in the same position I was in when I fell asleep.
Even my subconscious mind doesn't want me to sleep.
