Deprived (sleep) The small green light on the radio dial... glares at me in the dark. It is like a lazar light show going off. I threw it out the next day. I bought a new one, and went on my way. Night came, and I went to bed. My head heavy, my body tired. I turned out the light, and the red light, came right on. It was a giant, glaring sign... gleaming "No SLEEP" at me, you see. I unplugged the evil box, and threw it out the window of the second floor. Then I shut the door... and went back to bed, my head, heavy... and tired. I overslept. Morning sun rays touched the window seal, and all I could feel was free. I did not want to work today, anyway.

LOL. I do't keep anything in the bedroom that has a light of any kind! Those little lights on the TV, water dispenser, and range, however, light my way to the coffee maker. :) Linda

I don't like those glaring alarm clocks, either! Waking up with the sun is the best way to go - also your last line gave me a grin :)
