insomniac

On dreary winter days, it flickers like a flame in the corner of the room, and on insomniac nights, when the rest of the world is asleep, it stays up with me, troubling the water.

I became an insomniac, avoiding sleep at all costs, to keep the clawing terror at bay.

By writing about my wild sleeps, I could bring my fellow insomniacs with me.

Most people are insomniac, mainly because they are overanxious about their sleep.

Telling a careworn insomniac not to worry is as silly and useless as telling a lovelorn person to stop being in love.

Consciousness came back in little dribbles like a montage—half reality and half nightmare of the insomniac.
