Suspended in Insomnia

The trouble with insomnia is that there are periods when I really am sleeping.  Unfortunately, these periods of sleep are very brief and very light.  In fact, I’m not sure I would even call it sleep.  I’m sleeping but I think I’m laying awake in the bed.  And if I am “thinking” am I sleeping, then how can I be sleeping.  My mind and body  drift uncomfortably between sleep and awake like a boat rocking gently on a small pond.  The photo below is reminiscent of the sleep-awakeness that I feel during insomnia. It looks real, AND it looks dream-like.  The water is calm and relaxing; its milky texture soothes like a dream.  The dock is rooted like a solid anchor to reality.  When I hear my alarm clock, my tired mind-body drag back to the reality of the awake.
