sleepless on the west coast.

i do not have a problem sleeping, in fact, quite the opposite!
i sleep in the blink of an eye. i fall asleep in movie
theatres, reading out loud to my grandchildren. i drift off
during the first ten minutes of a show i have waited all week
to watch. sometimes, in the middle of typing, i wake up,
slumped over the computer keys! at bedtime, i switch off
the reading lamp next to my bed, my head hits the pillow
and zap ...
i am gone.

recently, i dropped off whilst driving. not a good idea, might
lead to all sorts of uncomfortable situations. i was lucky,
it was just for an instant and there were no other road users
around. i got such a huge shock, talk about adrenaline
overdrive!

to cut a long story short, the master medics decided it was
time for ...
a drug dosage adjustment!we are talking legal, prescribed
drugs here people ... no really!

which leaves me ... hot damn it! awake at 2.30 in the morning.
awake and aware.
what next?
what a pity i left saltcoats.
sleepless in saltcoats would have made a much better title.
