Restless Mind

Sleep is not my friend

For I lay awake with many thoughts in my head

Strategies taught do not work

Sleep is needed, but I can’t obtain it.

Poetry

Yearning for the Stars’ Repose

Sleep, how I have missed you so,
You have ventured away,
With no reason why,
Like shadows at the end of day.

The nights stretch on, an endless tide,
Whispers of dreams that fade and hide.
In twilight’s arms, I long to lay,
To chase the worries of the day.

Yet here I wander, eyes awake,
In silence filled with thoughts that ache.
Oh, sweet embrace, come back, I plead,
For in your depths, my soul is freed.

Bring the comfort of your soft retreat,
Where time unwinds, and hearts can meet.
So, guide me gently, let me find,
The solace only you can bind.

In slumber’s hold, my hurt will cease,
As dreams weave stories, bringing peace.
So, I await, with hopeful sigh,
For you, dear Sleep, to draw nigh.

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

For me, I can go to bed anywhere between the hours of 8 and 10. It all depends on what I did during the day. I am an early riser, so I am usually up at either 4 am or 5 am.
