I can’t sleep.
I’ve tried everything – I don't eat
before going to bed, nor drink tea or coffee; even hot cocoa or warm milk with
honey don’t help.
I’ve also tried counting sheep,
cats, dinosaurs and other creatures… unsuccessfully.
I usually fall asleep when Mr
Starlight hugs me tight but for the last two weeks even this doesn’t help.
It’s 3am, I’m sitting at my desk,
typing on my computer and listening to Mr Starlight’s steady, heavy breathing.
I’m envious; I want to lay next to
him, to sleep and dream about lying on a perfect beach with white sand.

Occasionally I have the same problem. The only thing that ever worked for me was to go for a walk. It's getting a little to cold for that now though.
ReplyDeleteInsomnia sucks. Hopefully, you'll be able to sleep again soon.
ReplyDeleteInsomnia is a horrible thing to suffer with. I went through a real bout of it in the summer so you have my sympathy. Have you got something on your mind? Lovely 100 words, really liked it.
ReplyDeleteoOOOOF THAT SUCKS YOU CAN'T SLEEP. lOVE THE POST THOUGH!
ReplyDeleteYou have my sympathies, my mother never slept well and it was on of the things she passed on to me! Diane
ReplyDeleteI have suffered from it for years. Something is stressing you. After my husband died, I just couldn't sleep. Finally I went to the doctor and he put me on Ambien and it really helped without making me groggy. Eventually, things changed for the better in my life and I no longer needed them. But occasionally, I get into spurts of it still. It does suck.
ReplyDeleteWell written, though I wish you didn't have to write this!
ReplyDeleteOnly thing that worked for me is saying a prayer.
I have been suffering through a bout of insomnia myself for several weeks now. Not fun! If you find something that works let me know so I can try it.
ReplyDelete@Sydneylk - It's way to cold to go out for a walk in the middle of the night. It's not a bad suggestion though.
ReplyDelete@Robbie - Thanks, I hope so too.
@Dicky - I have a lot of things on my mind yes, that's the reason why I can't sleep. I worry to much. Thanks for your comment.
