Lately I've been having trouble sleeping. When I lie down at night I get to sleep pretty quickly, but then I wake up a few hours later. I don't wake up groggy so I can just close my eyes and go back to sleep. Instead I lie wide awake. Awake enough to operate heavy machinery. I drift off back to sleep about 10 minutes before my alarm sounds.
With insomnia nothing is real. Everything is far away. Everything is like a copy of a copy of a copy.
When you have insomnia you're never really asleep, and you're never really awake. Nothing is real.
Some people define a 'person' as a continuity of consciousness. When you go to sleep and wake up, you've broken consciousness and started again. This means that every time you wake up, you wake up as a different person.
If you can wake up as a different person, can you wake up in another city?

You're sounding very Fight Club.
Ummmm, I don't think you should talk about that.
