Sleep comes brushing by me in the darkness,
Deep soft pillows can not capture it long,
Creeps slow beyond my listless consciousness,
Beats harsh within me with all that’s gone wrong.
Keeps thoughts when I wish for forgetfulness.

try a goose-down comforter, flannel PJs, and counting sheep. Oh, and some warm apple cider. Does wonders!

I don't fight insomnia anymore. I get up and read, sometimes try to write. Really good lines:

When I'm no longer enjoying my insomnia, I meditate--practice a little self-induced forgetfulness. Sometimes it works.

Look into my eyes. You are getting sleepy, v..e..r..r..y sleepy

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

It's hard to flush those conscious thoughts out of your mind when you're trying to succumb to sweet slumber. Believe me I know where you're coming from!
Good one Prof!
