~The Insomniacs Club

Hi, my name`s Hermit and I`m an insomniac...*giggles and goes back to seat now*
Seriously...had insomnia since my teens. Will go for a couple of months at a stretch being able to sleep normally, though am still always an early riser, being up at 5am most mornings, no matter what time I go to bed.
Then the bouts of insomnia happen and not only do I find it incredibly hard to go to sleep, but I wake some two/three hours later and that`s it, couldn`t be more wide awake yet knackered with it, if I tried.
Horrible thing, insomnia, as any other insomniac will tell you.
You ever notice how there is bugger all on the tv for us insomniacs? We don`t all have satellite tv, y`know...
so come on Beeb, how about catering for us sleep deprived folks eh?
We`re not all doing Open University courses...we don`t all wanna hear the same news being repeated ad infinitum...
how about some decent films that aren`t of the noir (read, dark and depressing) variety, or some great reruns of 70`s shows, I remember them you see and wouldn`t mind those being repeated. Hey, I pay my license, so am supposed to be allowed to have a say......
But most nights I don`t turn the tv on. Or read...must invest in some new books, think I have read all mine at least twice over and I do have a sizeable collection....
Some nights, weather permitting, I go out for a walk.
Like I did this past night/dawn.
So I got to see the sky lit like a softly glowing fire with the sun just below the horizon still, all rose gold and pink and warm looking despite the chill in the crisp air.
And I got to appreciate being alone in a sleeping world on a tiny island under that sky as I watched herons glide in to land on the pond at the side of the track and take their places like old fishermen beside the water.
And I got to listen to the sound of the sea kiss the shore softly in the still, calm air, and wonder how, even though we`re a quiet place here, I rarely hear that sound during the day.
There`s a special magic to early morning light. It seems, somehow, fresher, cleaner, new, unlike the faded rose light of an evening. This one seems full of promise for the day ahead.
I do like sunlight.
So there are plusses, to insomnia, I suppose....walking alone beneath a vast sky with only birds for company and the song of the waves in your ears is worth at least a little of the weariness.

And then the island begins to wake up, beasts start to complain at needing fed/milked/watered, people get into cars and fishing boats and the magic of silence is smothered again for a peedie while.
But no doubt tomorrow morning, weather permitting, yours truly will be out again watching the sunrise and enjoying the space and peace and solitude of an island morning.


*footnote* insomnia excuses my very frequent blonde days. Thank you for understanding...*winks**

Think what you would miss if you slept in! What is normal as regards sleeping patterns?

I know it's not funny, the few nights i've experienced it i've been so frustrated and cross with myself and everyone/thing else around me, especially when i know i've got to be up at 7am witht he kids and then do a full day as well with no chance of a cat nap. But, you make the morning walks sound so appealing i almost envy your ability to be up and out at that time, i always wish i could do it for the same reasons as you but even the nights i can't sleep when i want i am away by then. Maybe one day i'll get out there with my camera to photograph the sky on fire as it was this morning.

Could be worse, Hermit, much worse. Enjoy your morning walks. Here's to hoping you have decent weather when you have bouts of insomnia.

I'm not all that keen on catnapping...

Flying Cat from quite liking it here thank you


The last week or so for Weather has been quite good!! Calm and somewhat warmish!! The Moon last week was very entertaining.. Large and glowing as it waned!! Not forgetting the sunsets... We have been lucky the last week to observe awesome sunsets.. The colours have been vivid!! Have you seen Venus as the day dawns? Bright and glowing in the sky!! It is awful suffering from Insomnia, as I do... But at the end of the day!!! The clocks change soon.. And day marles into a subdued light.. And you can sleep whenever - as darkness takes over the light!!

What a slave-driver. It's only been 5 days. Or six by the time this appears tomorrow...whenever that is...

Flying Cat from Improbability Drive


I bet you that she's been away shopping FC. You know what these Hermits are like once they see a shop, dive for cover, can I borrow your duvet FC, old buddy?

Tws from Being Stalked


I'll send you the spare...I'm not sharing a duvet with someone who has shared his every movement and eructation with fellow ibers.

Flying Cat from flat-U-late
