Sleeplessness


1:17
A storm rolls in
Fierce winds
Driving rain

3:24
I'm awake
I don't know why
Roll over
Try to sleep

Forget it
Grab my phone
Facebook
Twitter
Emails

4:15
Try to go back to sleep
Toss and turn

5:30
BRRRRRNNNNNNGGGGG

It's going to be a long day!

  1. I feel you! I was up at 2 and then went back to sleep for only 45 min...headache and much needed coffee this morning! Hope it is better than you think it will be!

  2. I love this! By posting the times, we really get a sense of your sleeplessness. Very nice.

  3. Clever structure for your slice. I can feel your pain even more when I think about the times... hope today passes quickly and you can get to bed early tonight.

  4. Wrote my slice about the same thing. I'm looking forward to a 1:00 nap.

  5. I awoke at 2:00 a.m. and, of course, could not return to sleep. This happens often. I feel your restlessness and sense the dreaded exhaustion in the day ahead.

  7. Phyllis,
    I agree with Lisa. The structure and especially the insertion of the time hooked me in and kept it moving!
