It’s been three decades since I began waking up in the middle of the night, but it’s not all doom, gloom and yawning.
There is no shortage of research into sleep. We are routinely told how much we need, what to do before falling asleep, what not to do before falling sleep, the health risks of not getting enough sleep.
There are times in every person’s life when sleep deprivation is common. New parents, for example, or studying for the VCE or while settling into a new role, or beginning a job that requires shift work. Sleep deprivation, though, is usually not insomnia.For me, it was living in the top floor flat of a flint and timber house in England in 1986. The fire risk was acute and as a result, insomnia set in.
More time to work , more time to read, more time to become a film buff, more time to find fulfillment, all of which brings its own sense of wellbeing. All of which is evident in thewhere a man and woman connect because of their shared insomnia and communicate late into the night while others sleep. Without insomnia, their close relationship wouldn’t be what it is because they are afforded the time and privacy we so desperately want but so rarely get in the modern age.
