It would appear I'm also an insomniac. Who knew?....loved this piece Ali, I will re-visit as it deserves more attention than a covert read at my desk.

I thought you had to stay awake all night to qualify, who knew it was less extreme than that?! And thank you, it's always good to know.

I love the authenticity in this piece and weave through it the way a reader will.

Thank you Wayne. I was very sleepy when I wrote it, but with these my rule is I write whatever's just there in my head, no overthinking, no revision, just the thing. It's made writing enjoyable again.

Somewhere, there’s a sleep hotel with these silently gliding drawers. And ceiling screens showing gentle scenes for when the night terrors and 3am thoughts strike. Another member of the insomnia club here. Enjoyed this immensely Ali.
