Catching the Sleep Bug

The Sleep Bug Diary entry #1: 11:45 PMThe bedroom is dark.The pillow is cool.My eyes are heavy.The sleep bug bites.It starts with a yawn.A slow, deep stretch follows.My racing thoughts begin to quiet down.The digital world fades away completely.Blankets feel like a warm hug.Drifting off feels effortless tonight.

entry #2: 3:15 AMA sudden noise disrupts the peace.Eyes snap wide open instantly.The room feels different now.The sleep bug has vanished entirely.My mind starts to wander aimlessly.I replay old conversations in detail.Staring at the ceiling helps nothing.The clock digits glow a harsh red.I flip the pillow to find relief.Counting sheep fails to bring relaxation.

entry #3: 6:30 AMThe morning alarm rings out loudly.The sleep bug returns too late.My limbs feel heavy like lead.Five more minutes is all I want.The dream from moments ago slips away.Warm sheets pull me backward strongly.The floor feels freezing cold outside.The daily battle of morning begins.A hot shower is my only hope.Tomorrow night brings another chance to sleep.
