AUUUURGH!
If you can believe it, I still haven't managed to capture any further sleep. I'm still running on 40 minutes of sleep and whatever is keeping me awake in the first place.
I like to read my stories for five minutes or so before attempting sleep, as somehow that can induce sleepiness better than immediately hopping into bed. And reading my stories is better than reading someone else's, since I already know what happens and I won't get hyped up wanting to know what happens next.
But that didn't work today. I must have read bits and pieces of two dozen or more of my Ginger and Lou fics without getting sufficiently sleepy (except when those @!&^%#^% sounds roused me as soon as I dozed, AUUUURGH!). Finally I gave up and read some of one of the Star Wars books I brought back from the library in order to read Boba Fett's storyline. Still wide awake, I got back on the computer for the third time during this disaster. I checked mail again, wrote some, removed a bad plot twist from a ficlet, and watched three Mike Hammer episodes (sooo much adorable Darren). Still nothing.
I really don't know what I'm ever going to do. When the insomnia is this bad, I wish sleep would just hold off until it's time to sleep again. Occasionally it will. But I'm afraid that this time it's going to hit me like a ton of bricks right when I most want to be awake: first, to see a Perry Mason episode with H.M. Wynant, and then to see The Lawyers episode (and oh, I hope it's one with Joseph. He's absent from about five episodes).
