Awake 3am

Tossing turning

Body tired

Thoughts churning 

Bathroom break

House quiet

Lay down

Close eyes

Count sheep

Give up

Too many

Mind wanders

Negative emotions

Quickly banished

Think positive

Check time

Still dark

Breathe deep

Happy thoughts

Invite sleep

Sleep declines

Sip water

Stay hydrated

Check time

Almost 4am

Open phone

Big mistake

Start surfing

Read emails

Mostly junk

Check calendar

Full day

Need sleep

Phone off

Close eyes

Need sleep

Body fatigued

Mind racing

Check pulse

Normal rate

Feels faster

Another mistake

Now listening

Heart beating

Ears tuned

Loud pulse

Face throbbing

Drink water

Stay hydrated

Must pee

Bathroom tiles

Feel cold

Bare feet

Lay down

Check time

5.30am

Dawn breaks

Birds sing

Sleep hopeless

Get up

Make tea

Open laptop

Write poem

Quick edit

Check time

6.30am

Today will

Be long

Will sleep

Well tonight
