VITAMIN ZZZ

CLINICAL

somnolence that should have been familiar, but was no longer accessible, like a husband who returns from prison a stranger, after many years during which you have learned to live alone. F.J. Bergmann

F.J. BERGMANN lives in Madison, WI. "I worship waterbeds, feather-beds, goose-down comforters, feather pillows, and thick flannel sheets. I can sleep in light or darkness, but find darkness more reassuring. Ideally, I sleep next to my warm husband, somewhat less deeply. I don't remember where I go when I'm asleep (I hops it’s somewhere nice). I hope I don't remember because I can’t remember, rather than because I don't want to remember. I have always wondered where I would go if I dreamed, recursively, that I was falling asleep.
