Sigh.

Disturbed sleep/difficulty getting to sleep the last few nights.

It’s 04:15 and I’ve been awake for an hour and a half, and it doesn’t feel like I’m about to go back to sleep.

Same thing last night (both nights slow release melatonin helped me to get to sleep, but then I wake up in the middle of the night) – and the night before that I lay in bed from about 22:00 till after 03:00 trying to get to sleep and failing miserably.

Listening to relaxing music – or otherwise non-relaxing music which I’ve fallen asleep to for decades – hasn’t been helping.

Tonight’s middle-of-the-night fixation is “AI” (LLMs, really) in my highly regulated/highly technical industry, sustainability issues, deskilling, etc.

At least I now have a few hundred words worth of points I want to cover jotted down for the work blog post I’ve been meaning to write for a few months.

I’d rather be dreaming, though.
