Restless

Go to bed, Can't sleep
Tossing, Turning
Still can't sleep
Hearts beaten
Faster, Faster
Louder and Louder
BM! BM! BM!
You start to count sheep
One-Two-Three
Four-Five
But still you can't sleep
You get up, Go down stairs
Get a drink
Go back up, lie down
One-Two-Three
HRRRRRRR!
You're asleep.

"Many people will empathise with you Yvonne.   I also think the trick is not to lie there and hope, but to get up and have a drink of water, then go back to bed.
