What to do when you can't sleep at night,
Even though your eyes are yearning for sleep.
You sit at your desk, with your laptop in hand, typing away,
Music ringing throughout your ears.
Trying not to sing along with the words,
Worried that you'll be too loud, that the whole house will awake from their dreams.
Your bed looks so inviting, with your covers drawn over your bed, tempting you into the warmth of it's arms.
Try, just try and resist the welcoming bed,
As your worry that you will over sleep, and be late to work.
The day draws closer, slowly, and you breath in, keeping eyes away from your bed,
Giving in, you step up, walking slowly over to the side of your bed, staring at it.
Thinking that you could try and sleep for an hour or two, you get into bed,
But know deep down, that you'll not wake for your alarm, so you lay awake.
An hour after, your eyes are stinging, your back hurts, your brain is in pain,
Don't know what to do, so I sit at my desk, keeping busy, typing away.
Thoughts drown my screen, too much is crowding your brain,
Keeping busy is what I am good at, when too tired to sleep.
So, sleep, don't sleep, your choice. I know what mine is, say Goodbye to sleep!
At least for today, long day at work, but when I get home, shower and sleep!!
