"It's brilliant, being depressed; you can behave as badly as you like. " -- Nick Hornby

Last night I couldn't sleep very well. It was another one of those strange nights when i am an insomniac. I think I finally got to sleep around four or five only to wake up a couple hours later. What is there to do when you can't sleep? I watched TV untill around one-thirty in the morning then I went to my bed and read for a hour or so. While reading I listened to my favorite radio show (Coast to Coast AM a very cool radio show that deals with all sort of strange shit like UFO's, aliens, and goasts). I haven't had an insomnia episode this bad in while. Sometimes it is alot of fun like the times I stay up all night playing video games, reading, or watching movies. Once I read almost all of a novel in one night because i couldn't sleep  Other times it is tolerable, it's amazing what you can get done when you can't sleep. But this time it was just plain annoying. I would close my eyes and get half to sleep and then something would startle me up again and I would realize that I had only had my eyes closed for about ten minutes. That quote from "Fight Club" (the movie and the book) is very true: "when you have insomnia you never are quite awake and you never are quite asleep. you are just there."
