She is insistent, and worried, a concerned, noncompliant beast.
We need to do something! She argues. This sleeping is weird.
I have reached a point where slumber is nothing to be feared.

Still, like a three-year-old I do not...

To peals of delight
They go on all night 
Whilst their neighbours cannot sleep for Nell's Yells.
