Bah!

Just woke up out of a disturbing dream. I have no intention of staying up, but I've decided to distract myself with LJ before going back to bed. Otherwise I'll just lay there letting the dream go around in my head and bothering me.

Sleep

I got ready for bed at 7:00 pm last night, so I would get plenty of sleep by 5:00 am.  I didn't manage to fall asleep until nearly 10:00, and then I woke up for two hours around 2:00 am. Naturally I then slept through my alarm and just now woke up.

Bleargh! I hate my sleep cycles.  And now it feels like I'm getting a migraine...

Not-Enough-Sleep Man

Despite all the sleep I (inadvertently) got last night its clear that I didn't get enough. When I'm sleep deprived my creativity seems to go into overdrive (although my ability to follow through on my creative ideas plummets). In that state I often see faces and images in random clusters of things or in the patterns made by decorative tiles.

Just now, as I was getting a second coffee, I noticed a coffee stain on the counter that was clearly a Klingon bird-of-prey warping away from an exploding planet. I doubt, were it left uncleaned, that it would look like that to me tomorrow.
