Bright summer nights mess with my sleep. Not only is it harder to fall asleep, my dreams tend to get very bleak. They’re not scary or sad, but bleak, and it’s been like that for years now. Neither blinds nor curtains help, it’s like my body knows it’s not dark outside, and deals with it this way. I can sleep, you see, it’s just the more frequent dreaming, and the bleakness of it. I wonder why that is?
