Vicious Cycle

It might still be some jet lag But every night I crash And from the couch into the bed Too early I do dash. So if at half past 7, I’m deep inside a snooze, By 1 a.m. or earlier My brain has paid its dues. I’m wide awake and simply can’t Get back into a sleep. I toss and turn while in my mind All stressful thoughts do creep. Until the sun comes up I try Then just give up and read. My day progresses as it should But what is guaranteed… Is that by 7:30 I’ll be fading super fast, A vicious cycle which I hope Will not much longer last.
