This one is just annoying: somewhere in the middle of last night, I thought "Wait, I forgot to set the alarm!" did so sleepily, and then realized it was Saturday night and I didn't need to, and turned it off: I thought. I either missed then, or turned it back on in my sleep. So, at 7 this morning it went 'beep beep beep." I told ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude to go back to sleep, and he did, but I didn't manage it; I went from lying there sort of awake to brooding about stuff. If that happens at the beginning of the night, I can usually push myself away from that and eventually into sleep; after 6 or 7 hours' sleep, my techniques weren't working (neither deliberately thinking about pleasant things, or repeating numbers in the hopes of boring myself into sleep: this works sometimes, though some sequences work better than others, and 40 minutes ago I didn't remember that. [Counting backwards, slowly, can be effective; forward by threes, apparently not.]
I have stroked the cat, and made a cup of tea; the cat had some cream, and has gone back to sleep out here. I envy that facility.
