Morning Insomnia

I've been up since four this morning, because I scraped the back of my hand earlier yesterday. Rather than coat it antiseptic and bandage it, I figured a few germs are good for my immune system. Well, it also turns out that my hand moves in the night at random, and a simple move would hit that scrape. At four, I couldn't ignore it, and got up.

There's something about being up that early, and that something is called stupidity. I kept trying to go back to sleep, and finally managed for about an hour, but it was one of those sequences where I was dreaming, but still awake. Almost went to get a giant frappucino from Starbucks, but that probably would've wreaked havoc for my sleep tonight.

Aside from being cranky all day, it didn't have too many deleterious effects on me. They say you can train yourself to sleep less, within reason. I'm not sure I could get by on five hours a night, without going kind of insane.
