The Convoluted Muse

I woke up early this morning; a rarity for me. You see, obstructive sleep apnea has made a good night’s rest all but impossible. I am tired all the time though I never fully reach that level of sleep which is restorative: R.E.M. sleep. The doctors have prescribed stimulants to keep me awake during the daytime; certainly preferable to falling asleep while driving but, this “quick-fix” comes at a price: even more trouble sleeping.
