Sleepless Nights.

1 sheep, 2 sheep, 3 sheep, 4.

Sleepless nights, what am I supposed to do?

I've done everything right, but I'm still wide awake.

They say to exercise both mind and body, don't forget to eat right,

Okay. Did that. Now what?

How are you supposed to sleep when you are thinking about all the worries of the day?

You lay there, staring at the cieling trying to come up with a game plan of how to solve those worries.

1 a.m.

I have to pee- mine's well, let the dog out.

3 a.m

Still scrolling on the interwebs.

5 a.m.

Mine's well get up.

1 p.m

I'm so tired.

11 p.m

I can't sleep.
