At last night's session of the Basel Finnegans Wake Reading Group, we arrived at a phrase about the reader of James Joyce's 1939 novel, "that ideal reader suffering from an ideal insomnia." When I got back home later, I was tired after a long day, so I decided to get up very early in the morning to finish my final preparations for my morning classes today. I fell asleep quickly, but I woke up at 3:00 with the opposite of an ideal insomnia. When I realized I wasn't going to get back to sleep, I got up, did my preparations, and still caught another hour of sleep from 5:30 to 6:30. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 9 October 2025)
