Asleep

I like people to rest
Its in my natural make-up 
Nothing better than letting people sleep and rest

I put pretty thoughts into minds
I often get the thoughts all mixed up
Some very dark ones do slip in - these are called "nightmares"

I dissolve grids on scowling foreheads when I open a mouth
I defuse a hot partner friction
I change stamping and wailing children to a happy, cheeky, smiling children

I like using beds
Some seats are just as good
If I have a bad day, I do forget this

I work both day and night
I do tell people im on my way
I make them yawn and stretch in a slightly grumpy way 

I have a few enemies
Beeping noises, nudges, daybreak, decreased blanket coverage
They stop me in my tracks
