Can't sleep, the nightmares are waiting
Been a while since I made an insomnia post. 
I'm not tired at all, though my eyes are a bit itchy. I think it's because I had two horrific nightmares last night. One bog-standard suddenly-late-to-work one, and one more in my usual vein where I was in the middle of an invasion of alien body snatchers that turned people into zombies. I woke up from the first one at 3:30 a.m. and managed to get back to sleep only to wake up from the second one at 8:30 after going to bed at 1:30. So now I'm lying in bed and just thinking about nightmares.
I even took extra care to wind down. I played a bit of Breath of the Wild, then I read, then I spent an hour transcribing Wild Man Blues, the Cowboy Bebop light novel that never got an official or even fan-translated US release that I want to translate. Then I lay in bed, looked at soft forest imagery on tumblr while listening to dungeon synth (MURGRIND's Inheritor of the Forest Throne) with my devices all at below-minimum brightness thanks to the zoom accessibility hack, and then tried to sleep. No luck, I'm still wide awake.
Maybe I'll turn on my Rain Rain Chiyoda mix--rainfall, the sound of water flowing through the stone gutters, and frogs croaking in the rice fields. That usually helps if nothing else does.
Hopefully you're all having sweet dreams right now. お休みなさい。(( _ _ ))..zzzZZ
