A long night (Audio and also backdated slightly to the wee hours of the morning)

[If one were to listen to this audio clip, they'd firstly hear some shuffling going on in the background before they hear Sable! Her voice is soft and kind of groggy, but it's definitely her nonetheless.]

Good…well, good morning, I guess. It’s a bit odd to call it morning right now, but I digress. It’s about…3:30 in the morning, I believe? I…think that’s what time it is now oh wait I can see the little clock on my computer, yes, it’s around that time. Anyway.

I haven’t been able to get much sleep tonight. I think I might have drank one too many cups of coffee yesterday, hee hee. But in any case, I have been trying to get some sleep to no avail, so here I am, making this little post, just to pass the time and see if this’ll help me get to sleep.

Mmm, perhaps I’m pulling too many all nighters…sometimes I just get so wrapped up in my own projects that I completely lose track of time! It's nice to get into the zone while doing something that you like, but it can be both a blessing and a curse sometimes, I'm quickly realizing that. And I guess, usually, whenever something like this happens when I can't sleep, I try to busy myself with some knitting...but right now I'm just not up for it. I suppose I should ask this, but when you can't get any sleep at all, no matter how much you try, what do you do?

[There is a short pause, then she sighs.]

...well, talking like this isn't making me tired at all. Maybe all I need to do is to get out of my apartment for a while. I think I'm going to take a walk to the school and see if that helps out at all. Sigh, I'm going to be a wreck tomorrow, I just know it...

What I try doing is relaxing. I don't normally have any sleep problems, but when I do, I get up, do something quiet like reading, and try phase two of catching some sleep. You tried knitting already, which sounds relaxing, so I don't know if my suggestion will help you or not. I also find that some warm tea helps soothe you into dream land, so maybe you could try that? Chamomile works wonders sometimes.

And just as a side concern... Are you feeling alright? Lack of sleep aside, I mean. You don't have to tell me if it's too personal, but I'm a little worried.

Oh, thank goodness. I wish you luck in getting some much-needed sleep!
