What do you do when sleep refuses to come to you?You’ve been in bed for more than three hours now. Waiting. Wide awake. He simply has better things to do than to be with you tonight.You burrow deeper into your bed. It’s so comfortable, it surprises you anew. The room is dark. All yours. Alive to music. The soft strumming of an acoustic, the rhythmic beat of the drums. Perfect to drop off to sleep.Except, of course, you don’t. You just can’t.You’ve been thinking. All day long, you’ve considered, reflected and reasoned. It’s not an answer you’re searching for. Not that there aren’t questions – oh my, yes, there are. Enough. More. But answers are a ridiculous option when you’re in the mood to appreciate the questions that have arisen. You want to explore them. Tease them. Follow one question and see where it leads you. Another question, probably. You don’t mind. After all, these are not problems that demand to be solved.And without warning, you’re suddenly in a whirlpool of memories, possibilities, forgotten lyrics, cherished plans that didn’t see the light of day and promises you’d made to yourself. Feelings you’d buried (and had thought were quite dead) surface, sticking out their tongue cheekily at the observation that they’re entirely pointless.So, yes, you’ve thought. But it’s enough now, and you want to sleep. You really do. You’ve exhausted your stock of questions. Besides, you’re no longer in the mood. You have to wake up early in the morning. You can barely grab a couple of hours of sleep if you crash into slumber mode right away, and those couple of hours you definitely need.Why bother emphasizing the need to sleep? You know you’re not going to get any.What do you do when sleep spurns you, and there’s no one to stay awake with you?
