The Dance of Sleep
by BurnArt on Comments
I have this ritual for getting to sleep. Without the ritual I often can't sleep no matter how long I try. It all starts with me spending at least 2 hours in front of my computer before I go to bed. Often harassing poor americans. I can't help it, its so easy, its almost like they want to be insulted. If I don't get to spend this time in front of my computer, I get a feeling that the day went too fast, and I did not get to do the things I wanted to. After some hours at the internet, I have calmed myself, reached my equilibrium sort of. Its time for going to bed and I often read a book, the type of book is irrelevant, and if I read it or not is irrelevant, as long as I have the book there ready for use. No book, and I get a feeling that somethings missing. I usually read until I cant see anymore, turn off the light and hope I'll "pass out" fast. This, though, never happens and I lay in my bed twisting and turning in what feels like hours. As all of this happened yesterday I started thinking about it, and I didn't really dislike it. I surprised myself by actually liking this Dance of Sleep. Now you might wonder why I call it a dance. Well its because in a dance you have to be perfectly balanced, and its the same in my routines. If I'm somehow unbalanced, it'll take longer to fall asleep and and will have a bad night sleep. I unconsciously do all this, and its not before after I go to bed, I know if somethings wrong with the balance. There is a second reason I call it a Dance, I constantly move my feet cause it always get to hot where they are at that moment. God damn heat! So this is my Dance of Sleep.
