Sleepless Night

Tossing and turning, restlessness causing my eyes not to shut.

sleep is calling out to me, I'm struggling to answer it.

The thoughts in my mind are racing and they don't know it's time to stop.

The hours go by slowly on that old ticking clock.

Right now I should be fast asleep and dreaming but I just can't seem to do it no matter how hard I try or how much time goes by, my eyes won't shut and sleep is eluding me.

The sleep that is calling my name isn't being answered cause' I'm tossing and turning in my bed... Restlessness has won tonight and sleep hasn't found me yet...

Here comes now the morning sun, telling me my time is up..

I understand this poem. The mind won't shut-off and the morning light appeared. It will be a bad day. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Sometimes sleep just wont come no matter how much we need or want it to. I hate just laying there.

[Dreamer]

I know I do to!! in fact I was having this exact problem last night!

[ron]

What caused you not to be able to fall asleep?

[Dreamer]

too much on my mind I suppose

[ron]

Yup that will do it.

[Dreamer]

mm hmm... I wish there was an off button for my brain

Lol. I fall asleep watching a movie, that seems to help a lot.

I fall asleep to music usually but it doesn't always work

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A well expressed experience that we have all shared. Don't know about you but I often find I fall asleep so deeply when it is almost time to rise!

Oh yeah, I get this all the time. I suffer from mind chatter and restless leg syndrome. I haven't had 8 hours of sleep in years. Good poem.
