Not only have I never fallen asleep, I am keenly aware of those multiple needles and take extra care not to look at any of them sticking out of me. I'm pretty sure I'd faint dead away.
I had an awful lot on my mind today and didn't feel at all relaxed. Sometimes I get a bunch of sensory distortion where different parts of my body feel absolutely enormous, like in an Alice In Wonderland kind of way. (I look forward to wondering which bit is going to blow up.) As soon as I get an external reference - wiggle my fingers or move my legs or whichever part is doing the blowing up - it resumes its normally perceived size. I think of it as a free trip :-)
I guess I've been thinking a lot all of a sudden about children's stories, too, judging by what I've been writing today. What is my head up to? It's trying to tell me something but I can't hear it!
