My brain is doing what my brain is supposed to do and looking for predators. It doesn’t want me to brush all these threats off, it wants me to survive and in what kind of quality is an afterthought.
What happens when you consistently spend your waking hours in darkness?
I lose sleep over climate change almost every single night. I can’t remember how long this has been happening, but it’s been quite a while, and it’s only getting worse. I confess: I need help.
You only get one shot at life. Why waste it on sleep?

And now he’s president and you still can’t sleep. And now you’d like to get under the bed. You’re right to be scared. You’ve gotta be scared. I don’t know why you wouldn’t be scared.
I’m not going to sleep. I’m not going to do anything else the rest of the weekend. I won’t go to bed until Monday afternoon. I’m going to ‘studio.’.

Sometimes I have trouble falling asleep but it's not so bad I don't worry and I don't weep. In fact I'm glad. Because I get up off my pillow and I flip on the light. I get down and get hip in the still of the night I stretch and I yawn and then I breathe real deep And dance myself to sleep. I hoof a…
