Monday

So I'm still suffering from jet lag and managed to wake up at an insanely early hour this morning and toss and turn for hours. The more you try to sleep the more you stay awake. You try to play mind games with yourself, try to trick yourself into going to sleep except that only makes it worse and by now you are visualising the mountain of paper and exercise books waiting to be marked on your desk. That makes you realise you really do need to sleep to be able to get through it all in the morning. Except by now you are wide awake and worrying about everything - did I lock the back door? Will I have time to get petrol on the way to school? What will I have for lunch?

I never did get back to sleep. The mountain on my desk wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I had locked the door and and I had a cheese sandwich for lunch.

Can I go to bed yet? zzzzzz
