How I Feel When I Fall Asleep

Feeling over tired
unable to keep awake
I go to my bedroom
My eyes burning

I am in deep slumber
When my head meets pillow
Now my eyes are closed
I have fallen asleep

Sometimes it works that way for me but not often enough. An off/on switch would be nice. John

I can relate to this; my sleeping pattern is down two, up three, which is really odd.

You are lucky. If I do that, I wake back up 45 min. later and still need to take the good old sleeping pill. I sure wish I had the ability to STAY asleep like when I was younger. Count your blessings you can do this, Darlene!

Hello Andrea, it would be nice to sleep like when we were younger. Now our sleeping pattern has changed. Hugs, Darlene
