“And don’t you say

that I’ve gone crazy… I haven’t gone crazy, yet. I haven’t gone crazy.”

Before I go to sleep,

I always make a list of accomplishments or tasks that I successfully completed through the day, and things I need to do the next day in my head. I go through and check them off, and highlight/underline the ones I haven’t done yet. Put them in order from most important to least; number them even. Sometimes I’ll even draw up a mental image of the act, to make sure I remember actually completing it.

And somehow, in the middle of all this mental clercial work, I fall asleep. Weird habit, or sleep-assist mechanism developed over years of suffering from nsomnia? I’m not quite sure.
