Notes About The Poem

I don't really have insomnia now but did in the past. Now I'm too tired to sleep. Or I rest a few hours nodding off but waking at 3am to reluctantly write. Such is life with chronic illnesses. No pity needed just venting. Hugs

Insomnia sucks
Sandman is playing my song

I finally created my contest inspired by your breakfast acrostic. Did you see? A little different in topic from yours but also similar!

Yes I was so exhausted I hadn’t the energy to write for it just yet! But I will if it doesn’t fill up beforehand. I’m honored my poem inspired you but you frankly always have great ideas!

I really relate to this one. I go to bed late, sometimes nodding off when I don't want to be. Then around 2 or 3 , when I normally try to sleep, I usually can get to sleep. My problem is that without fail, I simply wake up two hours later with no explanation. It's at this point that the insomnia gets me so inevitably I have to take my 30 mg of temazapan. The only prescribed pill that has worked. It's a benzo. Maybe it would work for you. It gives me only 3 extra hours of sleep . I end up 6 hrs!

Really? Hmmm I had no idea you had issues with sleeping. Thanks dear poetess for sharing. I’m determined to get better sleep. It may be menopause or the fact that I refuse to use my Cpap machine. But I’m up again still tired so will write. Hugs
