Dreams of an Insomniac

Last night I couldn't sleep. I lay in bed with that weary kind of wakefulness that belongs only to the true insomniac. Then, when I at last fell asleep around 4:oo in the morning, I dreamt that I was in bed trying without success to fall asleep. Then I woke, realized I was dreaming and couldn't get back to sleep.

It was exhausting.
