A Sleepless Night

Despite working last night and thus by definition I should have got home and collapsed into a wonderful slumber, tonight was possibly the worse night's sleep I have ever had. It was almost daylight by the time I got back to the house which didn't help but then the torrential rain rattling off the roof prevented me from drifting off.

At one point I actually opened the window because I was too hot, drifted back off to sleep and spent the next four hours wondering how the rain could be so loud. It was only when I opened my eyes out of sheer frustration of the noise that I realised the window was open!

Subsequently, today has been wholly unproductive. I have tried napping at least three times, drinking copious amount of sugar infused beverages and I still can't concentrate for any reasonable length of time. I started listening to a radio programme at one point and missed the last twenty minutes of it after drifting off. Now it is nearly bed time, I actually feel rather awake - typical which means another sleepless night. Hurrah!
