Insomnia

Insomnia,
Sleep,
Can't sleep,
Must sleep,
Otherwise I never can reap,
Don't make a peep,
I just cannot sleep,
This feeling,
I'm feeling,
I'm starting to sleeeeeeeep ....
No there I go,
I'm waking again,
One thing to do,
I'll pick up my pen,
I'll write it in biro,
I'll write it in ink,
It gives me a chance,
To stop slumbering,
And think .
- Sleep easy for tomorrow’s another day and you must take it and reap the benefits of sweet fulfilment, Carpe Diem ( sieze the day ) -
L.of.L. Tom .
Sweet dreams .

*yawns* And the more you try to get to sleep, the harder it is for sleep to come!

I'm leaving the cat a note
Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town!

let me rest.. let me snooze
I try to fight you but always lose
where's sandman to ease my insomnia blue?


wonderful poem on a not so wonderful thing.

"To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."

E.E Cummings.

Thanks for your support all of you, this problems seems to be a very common one as nearly everyone I know gets it, and I often find myself up all night trying to sleep .
