This morning the builders started knocking down a wall in the house. Not this house. The other one. The one we’ll be moving in to when the worst of the messy jobs has been done.<\/p>\n

After I’d let them in I decided to take advantage of the weather, and do a spot of cleaning. And lubing.<\/p>\n

\"Sparkly<\/p>\n

Then I went to bed around 11.30 because I’m working tonight – 18.00 – 05.00.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately my superpower – the ability that almost compels me to feel very drowsy\u00a0at 14.00 on a weekday (embarrassing!) and attempts to swamp me with the dozing when I’m trying to get home from work in the afternoons,\u00a0doesn’t seem to work when I’m in bed.<\/p>\n

So I’m wide awake and writing this.<\/p>\n

The day after I finish work at 05.00 I need to be in the office at 06.00.<\/p>\n

Two hours after that I’m driving down to Newbury for a day of meetings.<\/p>\n

What’s the betting that I find it very easy to sleep on the way down and on the\u00a0return trip?<\/p>\n

The good news is I’m not doing the driving. At least I don’t believe I am. So I should be able to deploy maximum antisocialness (word?) and have a kip while my colleague does the driving.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure how it’s possible to have sleep evade me with such dexterity.<\/p>\n

I’m very distrustful of sleep.<\/p>\n

It seems to come and go on its own terms, lately.<\/p>\n

So why am I permanently tired?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
