the night deep black dark

there were two pills last night to kill the cough that caused a lack of sleep.
the night sheer black with traces of dreams remembered in the morning to the uncontrolled sound of the son's alarm clock. And then back into bed it is still dark.
Further, more, deep black sleep, a silence in the mind, a death of memory, nothing but traces of dreams.
What pills are these that the doctor ordered? They were supposed to subdue a cough.
Look them up in the web, later.

The head feels bloated, like wrapped in cotton wool
It is light, it is eight in the morning, get up make some coffee.
The machine makes horrible noises becaus of a lack of water.
The wife complains.
Close the door.
Sit at the sitting room table.
Read the news from the computer.
Insipid stuff, the head feels as if it is tumbling.
Still fixed to the neck, knock knock the blood in the veins.
What is wrong?
The son comes in.
He wants to go to the café,
Suggest that it would be important to get dressed for the day.
Agreement.

What pills are these that leave the head all padded and the night deep black dark like

nothing
