My anxiety increased over the fact that I wasn’t yet asleep. I lay there worrying about the possible side effects I might experience the next day; like, poor response time, heightened emotional sensitivity or the possibility of falling into a micro-sleep while driving or operating machinery (not that I do ever operate machinery, but with this lack of sleep business, who knows what I’d end up doing!).
