Alexi’s Commentary

I don’t actually have anything I wanted to say about the piece itself, just that this piece is part of a small series of juicy teasers on a major writing project I’m working on.

I can’t say what the project is, or when it will be released but I just want to build up a little hype.

So watch this space and I’ll let you know when a piece is a teaser

If there’s one thing about me that everybody knows

It would be that I am the world’s biggest insomniac

But if I push my body too hard

Then I won’t ever wake up

I’ve considered being assessed for CFS

It runs in the family you see

But I don’t really bother you see

No doctor would ignore the insomniac with CFS paradox

The worst part of it all you see

Is comorbidity

ADHD, autism, BPD

Three completely different disorders

All with insomnia as a key trait

What needs adjusting?

Is it the Quetia or the Vyvanse, nobody knows

Can’t sleep without sound

But the doco can’t be too interesting

Temperature needs to be perfect

Boyfriend by my side

Don’t tell me to try to stick to a sleep routine

You know that never works

Yes therapy can treat all of the above

But no amount of therapy is going to help me sleep

Only got four hours last night

Three hours left of this 12 hour shift

I just want sleep

But there’s no guarantee

Rinse and repeat try again tonight

Hope for the best

By god do I want some sleep
