includes tips.

Needing sleep

can not sleep

wide away

want to drift off

Frustrated

angry

annoyed

depressed

as you are soooooooooo  tired

Get up

back to bed

try again to sleep.

Can not sleep

getting annoyed yet again

Insomnia kicks in.

Frustrated

feel like crying

thinking everyone else is asleep

why can't I sleep?

The vicious circle of lack of sleep.

Oh how some people take this

simple act of being able to sleep

at night.

And others are basically driven mad

by being unable to sleep at all.

How unfair is that?

some tips.

1. Stick to a sleep schedule. As it regulates your body clock and helps you fall asleep.

2.  Avoid cat naps in the afternoon. As you will not sleep at night.

3. Do some exercise during the day. Going for a walk. Taking the dog for a walk. Helps you fall asleep later on at night. Don't go overboard to where you never want to sleep. As exercising too much.

4. Make sure you have a comfortable mattress and pillow and room is dark and nicely ventilated to where you are comfortable body wise and temperature wise to help you sleep.

5. Relax and try to chill out before bed. With a nice shower or a warm bath. And stop playing with your pc or mobile phone up until you try to sleep. As that will just keep you awake longer.

6. You can get some relaxation apps. That help you fall asleep. Or listening to relaxing music as you try to drift off. Help as well.

What a very novel, practical and otherwise helpful poem this has turned out to be......thank you Dawn... wonder if I will sleep through ya tomorrow morning........... Neville

Well- I hope you took that advice and got to sleep- nothing worse than feeling exhausted due to lack of sleep - drive one unsane- sleep is so very important- if you don’t get at least 8 hours a night it’s proven that the brain starts eating itself...not fun- hope you sleep better🌹

Wish I was a cat
They can sleep anywhere
Any time

That is so true Wild Rose, I used to laugh at some of the places our used to sleep. Our old lady Emily. She had her own cat sofa with her name on it.

Just fall asleep
Man across goes to work on a noisy motor bike

Have to get up in half an hour
Get up now

Hope I can sleep tonight

Some our end last night was having a party. And the music was blasting. But eventually they turned it off. Thank God.

Had that during the hot weather last year > they stopped at 02:30
We were woken by our alarm at 06:30
The weather man said thunder rain was due it two hours
We got up and took down our gazebo making as much noise as possible

Their parties now finish about midnight
