Finding the Oasis of Sleep In the Desert of the Night

Dreaming is an important factor in both the waking world (if you have no dreams to fulfill, life can be somewhat empty), and the nocturnal state of sleep (you may not remember your dreams, but our subconscious minds need the process of dreaming). Lacking dreams to live by, or the subconscious outlet of dreaming while our bodies sleep, can cause a lack of well-being and happiness. And of course, lack of sleep can cause anger, mental breakdown, poor judgement, clouded thinking, and, in a word, insanity. 
Now, I'm not saying that I am insane, but I do have a sleep problem that is related to my immune system disorder. Last night was my first decent night of sleep since Tuesday or Wednesday of last week. And yes, after a couple of bad nights of sleep, I get a bit fuzzy, and my ability to see reality in a clear and healthy way, well, it becomes impaired, to put it mildly. It's best during these periods, for me to lose myself in a book, or to let the television set entertain me as best it can. Needless to say, at these times, I do my best to stay home, and do as little as possible. That's generally not by choice. It's about all I'm capable of for the most part. 
Over the weekend, I managed to read a large, as well as largely entertaining book, watched some tv, both bad and good (bad tv has no redeeming qualities, and you usually can't remember what it was you watched), ate some simple meals that required no cooking, and gave Eddie many headrubs. 
Albert spent most of the weekend out and about. He doesn't like it when I spend all my time in the apartment. He claims the place starts to smell took much like a "human" cave. As opposed to a bear cave, I guess. 
Anyroad, I'm going to see if it's possible to accomplish anything of significance today. But I will cautiously attempt to not overdo it.
Insomnia is a huge problem for many people. I hope as you wander through the desert of your night, you are able to find that deep, cool well of blissful sleep. Have a wonderful dream or two while you're there.
