John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Sleep

I am about to go to sleep

After my insomnia lets go it’s grip on my brain

And sleepiness displaces restlessness

And I get ready for bed

And drink another warm glass of milk

And get into bed

And try to go to sleep

After I set my alarm

And check it to make sure it is set

And after realizing, again, it is far too late to be getting to bed

But feeling relieved that short sleep is nearing

And finally drifting toward oblivion thinking to myself

I am about to go to sleep
