Sleep

I take melatonin
And wear a sleep mask
Yet I still can't sleep
So that's why I ask

What do I do
To make myself dream?
To make the world go dark
And see the unseen?

What can I do
To silence my mind?
To be able to relax
For the longest time?

Sleep is essential
To living well
What I wouldn't give for it
What I wouldn't sell

When I close my eyes
I see black
But after a while
Sleep I still lack

I seek the peace
That comes with rest
A nap is a dream
Of which I'm obsessed

Please suggest
Solutions to my issue
And no, not crying
Into tissues
