Anatomy of a night without sleep


  • At 11pm I was coding at this machine
  • At Midnight I was fixing myself a fruit bread sandwich
  • At 1am I was in bed listening to Radio 4
  • At 2am I was in bed reading a John Winton novel
  • At 3am I was in the front room watching the Australian Grand Prix pre-qualifying
  • At 4am I was watching the qualifying itself
  • At 5am I was watching the news headlines on BBC News 24
  • At 6am I was, mercifully, asleep
