Just last night, in fact, I was up for hours trying to sleep after having shot photos at Artscape for 12 hours straight--no break, no food, no stopping at GO and collecting $200. 22 rolls of spent Provia later, I couldn't _stop_ shooting, even while laying in bed staring at the ceiling and wondering when my mind would finally settle down. I took two Benadryl. Nothing. I had a couple shots of brandy. Nada. I rifled through my prescription drug cabinet and decided against a twelve year old bottle of xanax. Some nights you just can't win, and I decided at 3 am to just sit with it all--the restless feeling in my legs, the exhausted body, the tireless, frenzied mind--and only then, while sitting in the middle of my living room floor, watching headlights from the occasional passing car cast shadows across the walls and ceiling, with only the sounds of the crickets for company--only then did sleep come at last.
