Do Not Disturb

I'm a nosleeper. I watch the ceiling for hours and hours and hours and hours as thoughts rush by and I fail to fall into restless sleep. A friend suggested I put some of those glow-in-the-dark stars up there, so I've something to look at. I think that's a good idea. But not stars. Maybe a glow-in-the-dark Scarlett. I thought it was my room at one point, maybe the feng shui was all off kilter, but I've changed rooms, beds, couches, auras, everything. Nothing helps. There is only one place i can get some decent shut eye: the tube. Without fail, whenever I travel by tube these days, three stops and i'm snoring. Bang! I'm out like a light and coming to with dribble on my chin and twenty pairs of wide-eyes staring at me. I've missed my destination six times this week, and blurry-eyed spluttered awake, cursing the tranquilising tremblings of these tracks. But I need the sleep, and it's filling in some valuable downtime, so tomorrow I'm taking a duvet.
