Insomnia strikes

We all have them. Restless nights where no matter how tired we are and how hard we try, sleep just doesn't come upon us. Counting sheep, reading supermarket catalogues, midnight snack of ham and cheese toastie, listening to our partners murder the silence with outrageous snoring. Nothing works.

Whether it is the after dinner coffee, or the glasses of wine, or subconscious thoughts about impending heart surgery, I just can't sleep. I'm completely exhausted, and can feel tiredness throughout my entire body, why can't I sleep?

All I can say is that the internet is saving my bacon. Instead of lying in bed, to be overcome with far too serious thoughts on life and mortality, I am trawling the net for trash. Senseless browsing reveals some funny stuff. The obligatory porn sites often pop up, but the pop-up killer is stopping them from hassling me too much. On one page I have the cricket score updating each minute (Aus are thrashing NZ in India), on another I've found a website devoted to Hollywood gossip trash. I've also found a great conspiracy website detailing how financial institutions are crippling the world's economy and that the US are about to launch an all out pre-emptive strike against Iran. My favourite website for the night? A funny little blog I came across during my travels. :o)
