John. Go and sleep and put your communicator down.

[drdaytimetelly]

I was sleeping! Except that-- [nightmares. :/]

I've got messages to answer now.

Re: private

[iam_aghost]

... answer them in the morning.

Re: private

[drdaytimetelly]

Miguel. What if he never wakes up?

Re: private

[iam_aghost]

John.

He will. If he doesn't soon, we... we can look into ways of making it happen quicker.

Re: private

[drdaytimetelly]

I've already tried pinching him.

Re: private

[iam_aghost]

John, we can discuss this tomorrow. Please, you need sleep.

Re: private

[drdaytimetelly]

I can't sleep.

Re: private

[iam_aghost]

Since when, John? Since this started?

Re: private

[drdaytimetelly]

No, since --

Sometimes I wake up and can't fall back asleep.

Re: private

[iam_aghost]

...and how much sleep do you think you're getting on average, as a result?

Re: private

[drdaytimetelly]

I can sleep through the night sometimes. Sometimes I don't sleep at all, but that's rare.

It's the nightmares. Sometimes it's like my brain is trying to tear itself apart, and when that happens I can't fall back asleep.

Re: private

[iam_aghost]

...What are the nightmares about?

[pause]

Not that I'm qualified to judge, just... interested.

Re: private

[drdaytimetelly]

The war.

Re: private

[iam_aghost]

[Quite obvious inhale of breath here.]

Would it help to go through it?

I know war. Personally.

Re: private

[drdaytimetelly]

The dreams or the war?
