Quiet voices

The moment that your eyes open, roll to one side and wait until the first wave of thoughts, anxieties and yesterday's earworm washes through the filter of your mind. These are not important things, merely detritus from the day before, and not worthy of your fresh attention. Check to see if your toes and fingers are warm. If they are cold, rearrange the blankets so that they are bundled and cosy. Now go back to sleep for another 15 minutes.
