Last year Leftwing Idiot bought me some lavender spray to help me sleep.

My overnight support workers often spray some on my bed as I settle down to sleep and I often refer to them then as my Lavender Fairies.

Last night was a bad night for me – kept awake by pain I struggled to sleep. I decided to be my own Lavender Fairy but quickly realised why I don’t do this myself: I involuntarily sprayed my face rather than just my pillow.

On the plus side, though, I went to sleep pretty quickly after that.
