Insomnia kicks in...

[matgb]

See, I was almost feeling sleepy at about 3.20am. Then I heard a weird noise coming from outside, so I climb onto the bed, open the window, and peek out.

There's a bloke trying to break into the laundry shed. Now, I never use it; I prefer a launderette or go to my sisters or parents, but we've had people break in tere to sleep and steel bits of the machines before, so I shout at him to get lost.

Turns out it's the new bloke from downstairs; he's only lived there 2 months, never met him. Except, WTF was he doing trying to break in? Claimed he'd been at work since 7am, had to be back again at 7am, and needed the clothes he'd left in there this morning.

This is an excuse for him to break the lock why, exactly? I asked him this, he responded by asking if I was one of the 'people' that kept him awake with music last night. How this was related to his braking and entering I don't know, (it wasn't me, natch, but, well, not relevent). Seemed to think that because he needed the clothes, breaking the locks was perfectly ok. Told him to piss off and sort it out in the morning.

Sp, here I am. 4.40am, no sign of sleep, birdsong outside. Supposed to be meeting an agent and our asian rep tomorrow, help Jules give them a tour of the bay, but it's optional. To make it, I now need to not sleep, in which case I'll be cranky. Bugger, need to get into marketing if I want to stay in the industry, but my fuckwit neighbour has messed it up again. Gah!

Insomnia sucks, especially if you have a 9-5 job. It was bearable when I was studying, but now it's killing me.

If it makes you feel any better, I agree with you on the whole "insomnia sucks" and "people suck" thing. If you trust your alarm clock enough, I'd suggest trying to get an hour or so of sleep, just so you've had some. You'll still be cranky and stuff when you wake up, but at least your body won't be craving sleep quite so much later on.

Good luck, old bean.
