10.42am

Oh how slow time passes. 

It's a uncomfortable feeling - you fidget, sigh, toss and turn, tense up,relax and tense up again and wait... you shut your eyes hoping with all your heart that when you see the light again, more time would have passed. After all, time supposedly heals.. right? So why won't more time pass so you can reveal any remaining delights inside?!

And sleep, oh precious sleep.. you crave for more of it, for when you slumber, you have no control over thoughts and emotions, you're numb to the world and for a while, it allows more time to be burnt - more healing time. So you try and try.. You try for more sleep. You wish that the Sandman would pay you a visit, this one time, and that he'd be understanding and generous and sprinkle plenty sleeping dust. 

Alas... no one comes to the rescue. You resort to counting sheep. Sheep jumping over fences with arched backs, Sheep leaping from cliff to cliff, Sheep bouncing, Sheep rolling, Sheep doing backflips whilst jumping the fences and Sheep taking big leaps over hedges............ Sleep.

Sleep... Sleep... Sleep...

After some time, you jerk and open those tired eyes. You're happy for a moment because you know you succeeded! You got sleep! Which meant time wasted. 

So you check the time, and it shows

11.05am
