trainspotting

it's been a bit like a scene from Trainspotting here this weekend. Stopped taking morphine on Friday so I've been 'coming down' ever since. A truly horrible experience. As I said yesterday it's a bit like having butterflies in your whole body which is manageable in the day but a nightmare at night. Makes it impossible to sleep for all of the shaking. On the sofa til 3 this morning watching old Alan Partridge episodes. Eventually exhausted, got to bed and had a couple of hours kip.

  2. I have had a lot of sleep problems and find that something less stimulating than Alan Partridge in the background is helpful. The gentle mumbling of The Archers omnibus produces a good hour of sleep. Also stuff where you know the dialogue by heart so not consciously listening for it - in my case that's usually Lord of the Rings.
