the sleep is important
Feb. 6th, 2019 04:32 pmThis post on Tumblr of a screenshot from r/ambien, a subreddit where people tell tales of the crazy stuff they did on sleep meds, appears to have been written while on ambien and is actually really touching and poetic:
The doctor knows the sleep is important and gives us the sleep
And I told her: it’s not every day. But there are days. Days when I know. And I wake up and at noon and at six pm: I’m not gonna sleep and pain is deep and wide and the chasm of it is inside me.
And she gave me ten nights of sleeping and tonight is that is one of those. It is the first. The light behind my husband illuminates him so that he looks like a saint in the Catholic church. Words feel good in my mouth.
My pain is gone and I am to sleep.
