On A Claire Day by Carla Ventresca and Henry Beckett for July 28, 2012

I remember how relieved I was after dealing with a bout of insomnia. Was up three straight days and couldn’t sleep. Then finally I fell asleep for 14 hours. Best sleep of my life!

Ah yes. That first really fresh day in Europe…just in time to turn around and go home!!

I can’t imagine jet lag lasting four days; she must have some other problem as well, like not being able to sleep in a strange bed.

Not really.

It took half a minute, but the bell finally rang. Nice song.

For twenty years I only had four hours on and off sleep each night (no known cause). I was constantly tired. Suddenly one night, I slept all the way through and for the last two years all’s been well – only I’m more tired than ever.
