| Posted by Anne Boulender on 11/14/06 at 10:36 AM you could have really chosen a different direction with this, but I guess since youre not overly negative, you didn't. I've had insomnia since I was a teenager and it can be quite draining and disruptive. |

| Posted by Christel Crews on 11/15/06 at 05:56 AM you know, from one insomniac to another, i completely relate to this piece, 100%, you've captured it completely - a smooth piece |
| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 11/17/06 at 08:23 PM I absolutely can relate! I have not had a good night's sleep in so long, I've forgotten what it feels like to be well rested. This phenonmenon is so weell expressed. All I can say is "To sleep, perchance to dream". |
| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 11/18/06 at 05:04 AM If it weren't for the meds I take, the "crushing weight" of financial and physical circumstances would keep me awake 24 hours a day. It just appears like I'd have to stay awake that long, or maybe longer, if the day could be extended to deal with the plethora of garbage (and miracles, fortunately) that make up this thing called life. Wonderfully said.
