Sleep Routine

Don’t try to sleep, but find ways to relax

Try not! Sleep evades effort.
Your skin will crawl, itch, and spark!
Avoid sleep’s spotlight, relentless demand—
also it’s mother, Insomnia!

Each night, at last, draw to rest
despite the circumstance, prepare
Sleep remains a needy thing
whose neglect induces disorder.
