I don't want to miss the moment a woman (finally and long overdue) becomes President.

I don't want to stay awake should it go the other way and know I missed out on my last night of decent sleep.

Decent sleep. Not great. Just decent. Because I'd still carry the two possible outcomes into my slumber - there would still be hope even as one possible outcome is a nightmare. So, a good shot of at least getting some sleep.

But definitely my last night of decent sleep should it go badly.

Because, Trump.

See?
