Table/Prompt: Inspired By Table/Songs/“Who Needs Sleep?” by Barenaked Ladies
Insomnia is definable by the inability to sleep and/or the inability to remain asleep for a reasonable period of time. Daring yourself you can stay up for another hour or another week without letting your head roll back or your body fall to the floor. You have better things to do than sleeping. You could be working or reading or chain-smoking or screwing around. Sleeping takes up too much time.
Insomniacs suffer from being unable to close their eyes or rest their minds for more than a few minutes at a time. Keeping your eyes open helps you to see what's really there and not what's inside your head. If you rest your mind it will wander and you can't let it do that, of course, because imagine all the things you'll think about that you'd rather keep locked away. Don't rest your mind; keep it moving, keep it thinking about something productive or insulting.
Insomnia can be caused by:
fear of fire of bugs of air of wine of people with that look in their eyes of rock stars of needles of sleep
stress from work from love from bad habits from camera flashes from knocks on the door
anxiety panic disorder social anxiety disorder phobias (see fear) obsessive-compulsive disorder post-traumatic stress disorder
medications for stress (see stress) for anxiety (see anxiety) for repressed memories for blood slipping over your tongue
caffeine too much coffee tea soft drinks energy drinks they all stimulate your central nervous system they all make you go crazy
depression you killed someone and expect to be happy while you're slowly killing someone else and you can still remember the way he looked at you when you cried
