Go to sleep.

It's 10:30 at night.

"Have you tried counting sheep?"

It doesn't work like that.

"Don't let the bed bugs bite!"

Go to sleep.

It's 11:45 at night.

The blankets are pulled tight

And thoughts are racing;

It's time to start pacing.

Go to sleep.

It's 1:15 in the morning.

I don't make a peep

Yet the noises outside get louder.

When will morning come?

Go to sleep.

It's 5:00 in the morning.

The alarm continuously beeps;

My eyes are shut tight.

I never fell asleep last night.
