Julia hasn't been able to get a good night's sleep in six months! She is desperate enough to try anything in order to get her REM sleep. Finding an intriguing website, Julia learns about The Insomnia Club, a place where insomniacs can get together, de-stress, and find their way to Dreamland. Little did she know that she would find her way to love as well! And maybe love is all she needs. (Please note: This is a short story. No more chapters will be added. I may, someday, expand this into a novel, but I have many other books that have a higher priority to me.)
