Honestly, I have insomnia, I'm writing this latter in the night, so...
This was kinda venting in a way??

Hope you enjoy!~
(If this needs any warnings, please let me know!)

Every small sound, keeps me awake.

I can't stop moving, twitching, twisting and turning in my bed.

Nothing is comfortable, no position will suffice.

What time is it? Last I checked it was 10 pm.

Oh! Look! Now it's 3 am!

How the time flies as one tries to sleep. How empty I feel, staring in the darkness.

I blink, and pull my blankets up. 'Too hot'... I take them off, 'Too cold'...

I'm tired of this invisible demon, haunting my sleep.

There can't be too much noise, or too little. And the pillows have to be just right.

And as I start to fall asleep, something wakes me up.

Groaning in annoyance I get up, then back down, trying to sleep.

At last! I've done it!

But now it's 5 am.

And I still have time to sleep,

I'm back where I began.
