I'm having trouble sleeping. Writing that down made me think of a perfect 11-year-old song by British singer Corinne Bailey Rae. Unlike Corinne, my sleeplessness is not because I'm falling in love (please, send no flowers and shed no tears) but because I have had insomnia for many years now. I couldn't tell you when it started, but I reckon it was in my late teens, because I remember being a somewhat unhealthily deep sleeper as a child (my dad once had to scale the front of our house in Lagos and climb in through the balcony because the doorbell could not rouse me), and well into secondary school.
