Sleep

Yesterday evening was cool and breeze, but it got warmer and warmer as the hours drew on. It felt quite hot when I went to bed. My sleep was plagued by bits of dreams. A loud thunderstorm woke me up at I don't know what time. It was pitch black, and I could hear the heavy rain and thunderclaps. I was too tired to keep my eyes open, so I lay there tossing and turning. My mind was in overdrive, each thought coming at me like a brickbat and keeping me awake. I was awake for quite a while before sleeping lightly and getting up at six, with my mind exactly as it had been during the night.
