#anothersleeplessnight
Close your eyes
count backwards from fifty
Asleep you shall fall
Surely, but swiftly
If that doesn't work
It's okay, don't despair
Count imaginary sheep
As they leap through the air
You need to catch some z's
Your body is tired
Ignore the mere fact
That your mind is so wired
Oxygenate your cells
Don't worry, just breathe
Feeling relaxed yet?
Soon you'll drift to the land of dream
What's that? You're still up?
Perhaps you're just parched
Grab a quick glass of water
Then back to bed you shall march
As long as you're up
Might as well make a snack
Digestion should wear you
As the food makes way through your tract
You've wasted enough time
Now back to your slumber
Collapse onto the mattress
Slide under the covers
Each day you face your demons
Though at times it feels you're not winning
Inhale, exhale slowly
Now let's start again from the beginning
