Sickness & Sleeplessness

Dear Nobody,

Can't sleep. It's 2am and although utterly exhausted I somehow can't give up my will to sleep and hoping that this will help.

I've been quite ill with a rather irritating virus these last few days, and last night being New Years Eve I barely managed to make it past midnight, I felt so bad with it. It's possible the illness is slowly going away, but it seems to have left the inability to relax and settle in its wake (not that I'm really capable of that anyway) and after feeling utter shite for days, I am totally exhausted. So why can't I bloody sleep?

Strangely, having started to put myself out their on this "page" now, I feel that sense of sleep coming on. Maybe I've bored myself to sleep with my own ramblings... It's certainly a consideration. Of course it could also be the occupation if doing something instead of being frustrated. The second option sounds better...

Have also managed to become addicted to Downton Abbey in my illness - a fantastic TV series that has distracted me no end tonight from feeling utterly rubbish all day, after I exhausted the last two episodes of the BBC's new production of Great Expectations (Gillian Anderson stole the show there - absolutely brilliant!). Have been watching it whilst writing/ rewriting Lisa's story (previously titled "Star Attraction" and questionably renamed "The Girl In The Glass Bubble" (in the hope of creating/ starting to create a decent re-write).

Hoping can now go to sleep and that I've been freed from the annoying compulsion of insomnia. Crossing fingers and closing eyes...
