Can't sleep

Sleep can mean a lot of different things to different people. It can be an escape from reality; a chance to finally relax after another stressful day; a time of meditation and taking stock of events in your life. And for some, as in the case of Sheep Dreams Are Made of This, sleep can be a trap—a never-ending nightmare where they’re forced to relive their every mistake. For my own part, I’ve never had a great relationship with sleep. My colleagues who see me up and working at all hours will confirm that. This last week was particularly bad, though. Between a mix of challenging work deadlines, nonstop anxiety, and the insomnia issues I’ve suffered from since I was a teenager, I don’t think I got more than twenty hours of shut-eye across the whole week.
