Anatomy of a Sleepless Night

“I think insomnia is a sign that a person is interesting.”
― Avery Sawyer, Notes to Self

[Maggiemae]

I think insomnia is caused by too much thinking even with the eyes shut which they are not here!

[Annie D]

@maggiemae too much thinking - yes I agree

[Simply Amanda]

Very Hitchcockian...love it, Annie!!! Fav!

[julia]

Best try some Lavender oil.... great shots....

[Annie D]

@amandal thank you Amanda - does remind me of Mr H

[Annie D]

@julzmaioro thanks Julia - lavender would make me sneeze

[Simply Amanda]

P.S. Can totally relate to insomnia. I go through many sleepless nights. Luckily better lately. Seems to come in waves, stages...probably when I am generally stressed out or worrying.

[Gena Pegg]

Awesome captures...hope you can get some sleep....because you are interesting even when you are rested!!!

[Annie D]

@eyesmile ha ha thank you so much Gena

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent

[Debs Stott]

Hope you get some sleep soon and that you are feeling better.

[Annie D]

@graemestevens :) grassy arse

[Annie D]

@dibzgreasley sleep is returning slowly - thanks Debs

[Sam]

I live with an insomniac. He rarely gets more than 4 hours of sleep per night. I'm an early to bed and early riser. We are such opposites when it comes to sleeping patterns. So I feel your pain.........

[Gerry]

Great photo Annie Fav

[Babs]

Hope you can get some sleep soon. Are you okay?

[Annie D]

@gigiflower I usually can manage 6 but they are often restless
@gerry thank you so much Gerry - you visits make me smile
@onewing it is the coughing keeping me awake - healthwise I am blah atm emotionally I am mostly ok

[Sheralee S]

Fabulous collage, sorry to hear you're not feeling so good. I seem to need less sleep these days.

[Frida]

god, Annie this could be me! I might borrow the idea one of these nights/mornings. So much to do and so little time, I feel you.

[kali]

it is a cyclic thing with me... and also too much thinking about photography lol I like picking up the camera in the night, get some freaky stuff I would never post!!!

[Eve Pulsater]

I wake up worrying about things and not being able to get back to sleep. If I don't have anything to worry about then I worry that there is nothing to worry about!

[summerfield]

insomia is good, you get a lot things done. not when you're lying down though, that can give you a headache! :-)

[Kathie]

Hmmm. The less sleep I get the less interesting I become.

[Annie D]

@creampuff oh Eve

[Annie D]

@kathiecb i can become grumpier hahahaha

[Andrew S]

Incredibly frustrating, but at least it has produced this intriguing collage!

[Annie D]

@tomtom thank you Andrew
I think those eyes are a bit scary ha ha

[Nancy]

The eyes have it and I think they area saying, very creative. I also suffer from chronic insomnia. Hate it.

[Hope D Jennings]

Oh my gosh.i can soooo relate .very evocative collage.fav

[Bill Fenske]

Very interesting!

[Kitti Nelson]

This really speaks to me - awesome to create such resonance in your viewers.

[Taffy]

Looks like something out of a Hitchcock movie!

[Annie D]

@taffy I do and always have loved Alfred ha ha

[Annie D]

@kittikat thank you Kitti

[Suse♡]

Well displayed, it´s all in the eyes....I hate insomnia but luckily I don´t suffer from it, I sleep but I have known it so I know so I know the pain it can be. hopefully this is not you Annie!

[Kane Arlow]

I thought I was following you, all fixed now :).
Awesome collage too. I think this is something we can all relate too.

[Annie D]

@karlow75 thought so too - sometimes glitches happen - it has happened to me a few times
thank you which ever the case :)

[Yao RL]

I have been told that crush the garlic and drink it is an instant cure of cough. Never tried, but I trust the people who told me.

[Yao RL]

Tart Cherry juice, that I tried, is working beautifully. I drink just before I go to bed (yummy) and sleep so well.
