Writing Exercise #46: You have insomnia. What are you doing while the rest of the world is asleep?

10pm: The wife is nagging me because I won’t see a doctor about my insomnia. I nag her about moving from Alaska, where it doesn’t get dark for parts of the year, to moving back to Vegas, where I loved living.

12am: The wife has finally decided to take a shower and rest. I look in on the kids for no reason other than I can. This also marks the 15th day I’ve gone without sleep.

12:05am: I have opened and closed the shutters in my bedroom six times. Still nothing.

3:47am: I have been watching a multitude of random late night/early morning programming on over 300 channels. Not all of which I have a subscription for. It usually takes me about 5-6 minutes to realize that’s why the channel’s blank.

4:03am: I jump in the shower and get ready for work…in five hours.
