I am both delighted and horrified by the idea of you doing a Celestina Warbeck impersonation, just not sure it'd make me sleep better. (Or at least, I can think of other things that would be much more enjoyable in private.)

On meetings weighing on one: perhaps, but we're thankfully in a lull now until early December. (Though I am not looking forward to two days of meetings in December, or having to miss classes to do so, though at least Minerva's been reasonable about it.)

I have trouble getting to sleep sometimes - not all the time, just a night or sometimes two a week. It was a whole lot of work getting last Saturday's project together, and I've noticed it sometimes hits me particularly hard a few days after that kind of big project. Not so much any one particular thing, as much as not being able to relax in general.

And maybe I'm just getting older. The split teaching schedule feels like it's been harder this year at both ends - falling asleep and getting up in the morning. (It was last year, but I thought that was at least largely the Dementors.)

Mum suggested a good shot of something densely alcoholic when I'm done for the evening, but I sort of don't want to have to rely on it, you know?
