deep sleep of the soul, needed/obtained

 Weird night/morning... started to recognize my pattern of having sleepless nights (didn't get to sleep until 5:30am yesterday). I know that this is a clear and definite sign of my entering a hypo-manic state of mind/life which will feel good and active and focused, but will end up in depression. So tonight I decided to stem the tide of having another night like last night and took a pill to get me to sleep. It worked, sort of ... I slept hard and deep from 10pm-ish until 3:30am... missed my midnight starting time for this daily journal, but that's fine because I'm here now doing this. I was having deep thoughts before I fell into sleep last night, about not taking life seriously enough and not working hard enough about doing all that I could be doing with my life... thinking that tomorrow (today) I'll start to work harder, that I'll start journaling again to get down into the nitty gritty crevices of where my dark secrets are buried, and where my secret powers are ...

Funny how often, one thing leads to another, quite unexpectedly... I was listening to the song "I Go To Sleep" being sung by Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders when I thought that it would be cool to see a video of them performing it. (Well, this is just Chrissie singing it, sans the band.) I always thought it was "their" song. Well, it turns out that it is NOT their song, but it is a song that The Kinks did waaaaay back in 1965 on their second album, Kinda Kinks. Before I found that original version by The Kinks I stumbled across this mystical version by the stupendous Rasputina, featuring the amazing Zoe Keating! How about that? I Go to Sleep Lyrics
