I’ve mentioned before how I often struggle to get to sleep and just recently, how medication has meant I’ve had to battle to stay awake at all. Now I’ve stopped taking it, I’m struggling to get to sleep again.

Last night it took me four hours of frenzied ticcing before I could settle. I was shouting ‘Biscuit’ and hitting my head on the mattress, and I was convulsing so much I got mattress burn on my foot. Eventually I got some sleep, though it was not uninterrupted by any means. In the morning I woke myself up ticcing, ‘Mr, Mr. Christmas tree,’ which made me laugh in spite of how irritating it was.
