Sleep eludes me. My brain just doesn’t want shut down when I tell it to. Every single thought I have during the day revisits me as soon as I lay down. I used to have this same problem my first year of college. My solution then was fairly simple, I would listen to the Labyrinth soundtrack Jeremy copied to cassette for me. My roommate never noticed, she was usually out cold or gone for the weekend. Once I decided to try the other side of the cassette which was the soundtrack of Ghost in the Shell. Big mistake. It set my nerves on edge and made the room feel eerie.

I think I still have the cassette somewhere, but it doesn’t do me much good since I no longer have a tape player.
