Countdown

A couple of nights ago, my brain decided it would enjoy waking up at midnight. And I mean wide awake, not groggy and likely to fall back asleep. 

Since I needed to get up in the morning, this didn't seem like a good idea. I'd heard somewhere that one of the things that can help you fall asleep is if you count backwards from 100. I decided to try it.

100
99
My eye is on fire! (Rubs eye)
98
97
Why is my wrist bent like that? It hurts. (Moves wrist)
96
95
94
93
92
91
90
Where was I? Oh, right.
90
89
88
87
86
Look at me! I've got the hang of it now.
95
Wait. 95? Didn't I already say that? I've been counting for a while. It's probably 85.
85
84
83
...

...
Wait, I was counting? Why did I stop? Why am I still awake?
