Sunrise-Sophiiee deserves some love! She is my pre-reader lady and makes sure I don't have any mistakes. So, basically, she rocks.

I Should Be Sleeping
Prologue – Insomnia & You
Insomnia.
This is an inability to fall or stay asleep for an adequate length of time.
Many things can contribute to causing your restlessness, including anxiety, stress, depression, hormonal changes, decreased melatonin, allergies, arthritis, asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, Parkinson's disease, physical pains, genetics…
The list goes on and on, but you have none of those.
Highly trained doctors and even sleep specialists come up with millions of treatments to try and cure this horrible nuisance. When nothing works you're left lying in bed, staring at the ceiling just hoping the sandman will come to put you out of misery, or some punk will come in and punch you right in the jaw to knock you out.
The next day you're exhausted beyond belief. You consider telling family and friends about your problem, maybe you do, but they all tell you the same thing.
"Oh, its just a phase. A couple more days and you'll be sleeping like a baby again." Or, "Try drinking a warm glass of milk before bed. Maybe you should start counting sheep." Or the famous, "They have pills for that, you know."
None of that is going to help you though. Nothing found in a doctor's office, medical book or home remedy could make you feel better because all those doctors and nurses and friends and family didn't consider the one thing, or person, that's been the cause of all this.
They didn't consider that love could be a factor, that you were up the whole night thinking about this somebody that turned your life upside down, that you lie there wondering if they're wondering about you too.
But when it all comes down to it, you know the only cure for your insomnia is them, because it's the only thing that makes sense.
Even though I'm feeling so right, I'm so happy still I know I should be sleeping 'stead of dreaming about you…
It's way too soon to be obsessing like this.

Reviews are better than a new fic.
(especially when reviewers get a tease)
