Insomnia3 or 4 timesa week I sleep for about an hour a night. The rest of the time it's a more normal 6 hours. I have no idea why this happens but I've been like this since I stopped taking shedloads of drugs in my twenties.
Sometimes I get up and go a-wandering around where-ever I am at the time (currently in Hong Kong) so life can be a little like Neil Gaiman's Neverworld.
On the whole, I quite like it.
I stayed in Beijing a few days ago and couldn't sleep so ran laps around the corridors of the hotel. There is nothing quite like the feeling of sprinting down a corridor in all the usual running gear, flashing past the lights about six inches from your head at three in the morning.
I'm 41 and it shows no sign of leaving me.
