I'd like to start by clarifying that I am not an insomniac. In fact I can go to sleep easily, very easily. I just don't because if I sleep I don't know what I'll miss. If I sleep I might not get a last minute invite to a film or a bar. If I sleep I might not see some big drama happening on twitter, which is always far more exciting then it should be. If I sleep I miss out on the job of my dreams or any once in a life time opportunity. Most nights I sleep from four to seven hours. In four to seven hours I could watch five episodes of my favorite show or go to the bridge and back to see the lights or I could finally draw that one picture to make me tumblr famous and if I sleep there is at least six hours of working or drawing or exercising or just thinking that I'm making the most of. If I sleep illuminati might find me. If I sleep the internet may be outlawed. New Zealand could disappear over night. My drawings might actually come to life. People could fly. West became East. Pluto became a planet again. You have no idea what you are missing. The world doesn't stop when I close my eyes. Even in the middle of the night half the world is awake in their daylight and their I am still awake with them. I worry that if I sleep I'll miss that urgent phone call from a friend in trouble or the breaking news that something has happened to someone I love and maybe there was something I could have done to stop it. If I sleep I can't protect them, if I sleep I could miss saying goodbye in time. If I sleep the world can change. My world can change. If I sleep then I have to wake up and that really scares me.
