3. I do it almost every night.

The irony is that I feel so tired by like 9 p.m. that I pretty much have to go lay down... but then I go to bed and sleep for... three hours. I have awakened at like 3:30 a.m. so many times. And, there is no 'going back to sleep' in some instances. I am just awake, and will be for the day.

Fucking great!

I hate it. As a performer, there were times when my workday was starting at 9 p.m.. Now, I cannot make it to eleven most nights.

This has become my norm. I hate it.

But, I cannot do much about it, as I cannot do much about most of what is wrong with me.

I hope you can find some peace.

So many of us need some.
