Insomia Breeds Novel Thoughts By Mark LaFlamme

I can’t sleep. I tell you people, I just can’t sleep. I’m 38 years old and I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t afflicted with insomnia. And I don’t remember a time when I didn’t lull myself to sleep by rolling a sort of mental movie through my head, a storyline that overrides the noise of real world clamor in my head. For nearly four decades, I’ve been sinking into sleep with fictional characters running amok in my thoughts.
