Insomnia varietals
Maybe it should be varieties, but varietals just sounded fun and brings to mind grapes and vineyards and fun.
There’s crap insomnia that results from stress, being emotionally overwrought, or from knowing that you have to be up way early the next morning. This is the kind that will make you feel sick and horrible the next day.
Then there’s not-so-crap insomnia that results from having a weird holiday sleep schedule and having problems getting re-acclimated to the work/sleep schedule. This is the kind that will make you feel mildly out of sorts the next day, but not so bad that you’ll crash.
Then there’s pseudo-insomnia - where you stayed up late, were tired at one point, but had a second wind (or, in my case, stepped out into the 17°F windy night and then drove) and are now wide awake physically and incapable of falling asleep because you’re doing something that requires little thought (i.e. watching TV, reading the newest crap best-seller, looking at pictures on lolsecretz) but is still a half-step beyond brain-death.
In my case, I have the third, and this “something” is updating my iPod with new music from CDs acquired before Christmas as well as iTunes purchases made since then. And writing this entry. There’s a reason it’s short. I’ve got 3 more CDs to get on here and some of them are mixes, so no CDDB help for me.
