I'm sooo tired. So why
I'm sooo tired. So why don't I sleep? I think I just love that feeling late at night, even when I'm tired, that nothing is waiting on me, and that I can access that space in my brain that has stuff pressing on it during other hours of the day. Djam Karet, they call it - the hour that stretches. I learned that from Harlan Ellison. I can start to access longer-term goals again. Sometimes when I'm about to fall asleep, I remember the stuff I really want to keep in mind - so maybe if I stay up when I would usually be about to fall asleep, I can both remember it and write it down. I think that's why I stay awake. To make sure I don't lose my grasp on myself.
