Can’t Figure Out This Darned Insomnia

I woke up this morning at 4, wide awake and couldn't sleep. I laid there reading google news on my phone. Finally I got out of bed and made it out into the living room. It was pitch black outside, yet my path through the house was well illuminated by little, mostly blue lights. About 30 of them. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, routers, scanners, label maker, alarm clocks, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven, range, bathroom nightlights, charging chromebooks… I’m sure I missed a few. I was stuck wondering how the pioneers negotiated their houses at 4AM. Then it hit me, they were able to sleep all night because they didn’t have all these stupid (mostly) blue lights waking them up.

I’m not sure what my point is. Chris says I’m a grumpy old man sometimes. But hey, that’s what makes me happy. My back hurts. I'm gonna take a nap.
