I just can't get no sleep tonight

[venta]

If asked to list things I'm good at, I'd put "sleeping" really near the top of the list. I can sleep anywhere, through anything, at very short notice. I'm crap at getting up, but boy can I sleep.

On Friday night I went to bed at an unusually late 2am, after a pleasant evening with davefish, lanfykins and hendybear. From under my duvet I could hear Hendybear and Lanfykins talking and laughing in the next room... as I failed to go to sleep til nearly 5. I should add that they weren't keeping me awake - I'm used to sleeping through the sounds of voices (and I'd have gone and asked them to shut up if it was a problem).

However, since I had an early morning on Saturday, I got very little sleep. The two nights since then I've fallen into bed quite tired (late on Saturday after a hen-night, and early last night because I was knackered) and gone to sleep, only to wake up somewhere around 5am. This is not good, and it's not like me. And I don't like it.

So I'm rather short on sleep at the moment, and feeling very flaky at work. My ravel'd sleeve has not been knit up. However, I observer that a surprising number of people seem to be claiming lack of sleep at present. Is there some kind of plague of insomnia hitting the nation ?

I have been sleeping worse than usual and blame:
a) The weather. I egenraly sleep badly when pressure changes
b) Myself. My snoring wakes up the boy who then wakes me up to stop me doing it
c) Shadow. For screaming in my ear at insane o'clock.

The weather is however the only factor that I may have in common with others.
