Me too. Just sitting here. Killing time. Waiting for sleep to hit. It never does.

I do have a friendly mouse that runs at very high speed around my room though.

Looks like you'll be hitting the old red bull again!

I couldn't sleep last night either. I feel your pain. :-/
I often find that my friends suffer from insomnia on the same nights as me and thankfully I dont get it often. Maybe its air pressure or something.

Actually I didn't know, thanks for telling me!

It's all fuel to the fire that is my ego...

Shift working is a recent one for me (I'm just finishing my first run of nights now, and I feel half dead), but I must say that I'm with you 100% on the blowing horns thing. I've come to realise just how often the house opposite order taxis. They have about three taxis a day. None of whom are capable of getting out of the car and ringing the doorbell.

Still, I've got a load of time off after today. I may spend it sitting by an open window throwing things at minicabs.

I feel your pain... in reverse. I live in the States and Americans get up so early they think nothing of revving their several-hundred litre pick-up trucks with stero blaring at 4 in the morning. It's not unusual for people to be cutting the grass with a petrol mower at 6am in the summer, and it is considered OK to call someone after 6am. If school is cancelled, 5am is not too early to call. (IT IS IN MY BOOK!) Once it's light I stand no chance of getting back to sleep, even if I've only had three or four hours. Gits.

...and don't tell me I should Americanize -I have! I used not to surface until the afternoon! ;) Now I get my children on the schoolbus at 7.15. But 4am? Please cut it out.......

(sorry, was I ranting there? I love living here, but what's the hurry to wake up? Let sleeping monsters lie, I say.)
