cure my insomnia

Staring at the ceiling, the dark shadows, the little curves and the strange shapes they seem to make, watching as outside light moves across a wall, tossing and turning, sighing with discontentment… Insomnia has hit again.

It seems no matter what this terrible inability to sleep sucks away my precious hours of sleep and leaves me, almost in a state of delusion, like a zombie wandering throughout the daylight hours.

Do you suppose that if humans were nocturnal instead of diurnal, this problem would be solved? Or is it, rather, a creeping malfunction of the brain induced by stress or other such life-giving worries?

My insomnia doesn’t seem curable by things such as Melatonin because it’s not that I can’t fall asleep, I can most of the time, it’s that I can’t stay asleep. At all. I wake up at least three times a night that I’m aware of, and six isn’t too strange. I feel exhausted all the time and I have zero period chemistry and sixth period cross country this year so my days are long. I need to fix this.
