A good nights sleep is a blessing. Many of us at one time or another have find it difficult sometimes to go to sleep. We think of any thing or any way to help us get a good nights sleep. I have a few poems related to sleep. Sleep, Sunrise & Sunset, & Then Comes the Night Short and sweet.

A tragedy, it happens to us all. Sleep is vital to survive.

I need to sleep; I want to sleep; I dread to sleep! HRL

To me, being an insomniac is the best thing for my poetry. All my flashes of insiration happen late at night! Great relatable poem. Please check out some of mine - new to this site and would love to 'Get the ball rolling' and get any feedback; positive or negative - on my writing! thanx (some poems of mine include to be free, do you...etc)
