Rest easy, read these heavy words of slumber, tap your chest to the beat of your heart, empty out breath even from the deepest parts the void, will fill itself, with sleep, I hope for your sake. Scrunch those toes to close, then let them relax and let go, Half close those toes and let them loose, shake them once and again, Tense those calves, feet pointed at the ceiling, if you are willing, Go half way and shake the tension away, from you, Quads and hamstrings, next remember in pretext, full and halfway, shake the tension away,, gluteus maximus then abdominals and lower back and in their turn chest, those pecs to reflex and relax latissimus dorsi, my oh my you got your back shoulders, hands of fingers, just like the toes, pretty soon you might doze, forearms, biceps and triceps too, neck and face shrug and scrunch, you don't have the answer, so pucker your face, eyes are the last close them once, eyes are the last close them half, eyes are the last, I hope you never read this far, unless you are awake, after a night of rest fullness, so if it does not work, know this, I will sit by your side so you can unwind, I have a good year for listening, on pillow soft words, for you to put your sleepy heavy head. Good...night...yawn

I am not an insomniac, I take that back, You are not an Insomniac
Rest easy, read these heavy words of slumber, tap your chest to the beat of your heart, empty out breath even from the deepest parts the void, will fill itself, with sleep, I hope for your sake. Scrunch those toes to close, then let them relax and let go, Half close those toes and let them loose, shake them once and again, Tense those calves, feet pointed at the ceiling, if you are willing, Go half way and shake the tension away, from you, Quads and hamstrings, next remember in pretext, full and halfway, shake the tension away,, gluteus maximus then abdominals and lower back and in their turn chest, those pecs to reflex and relax latissimus dorsi, my oh my you got your back shoulders, hands of fingers, just like the toes, pretty soon you might doze, forearms, biceps and triceps too, neck and face shrug and scrunch, you don't have the answer, so pucker your face, eyes are the last close them once, eyes are the last close them half, eyes are the last, I hope you never read this far, unless you are awake, after a night of rest fullness, so if it does not work, know this, I will sit by your side so you can unwind, I have a good year for listening, on pillow soft words, for you to put your sleepy heavy head. Good...night...yawn
Make sure you are not allergic to any of the teas below, you might end up sleepy but awake at an emergency ward... did your try a warm tea, mint or green does it for me, lemon is fine, chamomile, or some kind of herbal or there is one called sleepy time...
