health / sleep-insomnia

I breathed in for four and exhaled a small essay

I counted sheep that unionized for better hours

I declared tonight the night sleep finally remembers me

I did gentle stretches that woke up my curiosity

I dreamed about sleeping and woke up impressed

I flipped my pillow like it held the secret settings

I journaled my thoughts until they waved back

I listened to rain sounds that reminded me of deadlines

I made tea I forgot to drink

I negotiated with my brain to stop replaying the day

I promised myself a nap like a plot twist

I scrolled sleep tips until the sun submitted evidence

I set a bedtime alarm that I respectfully ignored

I tracked my sleep and graphed my overthinking

I tried chamomile and achieved pleasant wakefulness

I tried lavender and smelled like bedtime optimism

I turned off screens and stared at the ceiling in HD

I watched the sunrise with mixed reviews

I woke up before my alarm out of spite

I wore an eye mask that turned into a thinking cap
