Forgive Me, Mr Sandman

I think I upset the sandman
He never visits anymore
I never feel his creeping step
Along the bedroom floor

He doesn't bother stopping by
I must have hurt his feelings
Whatever I did, please forgive me
A good nights sleep is appealing

Just a sprinkle of powder
To help me drift off to sleep
I'm sick of spending every night
Counting all these sheep

I wish to relieve the burden
Of tired and weary eyes
I wish to dream the hours away
And wake up wanting to arise

Your probably a lovely fellow
And don't mean to cause any harm
But I need to feel your touch
And succumb to your charms

So Mr sandman, if your reading
Please get back to work
Drop me off some lovely zzz's
You miserable old berk!

Haha I share the feeling!

Love this I know the feeling

Count sheep...? Nah, never works! 😜

@MrAlex @aleishagayle20 thanks! A bit of sleep would be a nice change! It's good to know I'm not the only one!

@naaviie yeah, it never ever works! I get all distracted and lose count :P

Yup! The little buggers 😜 how about try that systematic muscle tensing-relaxation thing?

@IndiaSparrow great poem 😊

Awwww a lovely poem...hope you manage to get some zzzzzzzzz

@misslittleDHP I didn't get that many zzzz's, but never mind. Thanks lovely ;)

@casualhero thank you :D

@naaviie it's worked a couple of times but not always. Bloody typical XD

@IndiaSparrow do you suffer with insomnia or is it only recently you've had it?

@misslittleDHP I had insomnia a lot over the past couple of years, and the doctors say good luck with it back out the door you go -.- but never mind. I get the chance to dream up some new work :)

Sleep deprivation for me is a killer...luckily I only get it when I'm worried about something...your docs sound rubbish...have you tried relaxation tapes?....I used to listen to a chill out cd or sounds of the sea....prob not much good for insomniacs...failing that do you know anyone very boring?....record them talking....their boring voice might send you to the land of nod:):)

@misslittleDHP haha I could name a few of my old teachers to fit the boring bill XD I have a chill out tape but my best way to make me fall asleep is to write! Sounds cheesy I know, but I can get rid of everything stopping me from sleeping. Even that doesn't always work -.-

I hope you get some sleep soon sweetie anyway

@misslittleDHP hey, I just found a plus side to insomnia! It means that if I had forgotten to pack something, I'm still awake to remember and do it :P
