I really should be fast asleep
It’s funny, I’m not tired
The night has taken over me
The light of day, expired
There’s a spider crawling up my wall
He doesn’t notice me at all
Perhaps he’s uninspired
By the fact that I’m not tired
My brain is running on caffeine
It really should be in a dream
Is that truly what I desire?
Cause I’m really not that tired
I close my eyes and try to rest
Still, visions dance before me
Why do I even bother?
Now where’s that cup of coffee?
Sweet liquid gold is most required
Oh, did I mention I’m not tired?

Night Owl Poetry - Dorinda Duclos 
Feel like this is the story of my life! 1.5 hours of sleep last night and somehow all day I was not exhausted. One cup of Folgers coffee this morning and that was it. I think my body has become accustomed to sleep deprivation and it worries me… It’s comforting to know I’m not alone, but also I hope sleep catches up with you one of these days. Thanks for sharing this!

Oh my, I do hope you find restful sleep soon. Perhaps cut your caffeine, although honestly, that didn’t work for me. lol

No worries, dear friend. I’m not, God willing, going anywhere. And you will be stronger in no time. 🙂 ❤

I talked to my family doctor and he is in favor of the heart ablation, so that has made up my mind to go ahead with it. I see that specialist on June 14th. 😊❤

Hate it when this happens. Hope you get a nap during the day.

Nap? What’s that? I usually wind up falling asleep around 7PM, wake up at 1AM, and the cycle starts all over again. lol

Those cycles are so hard to break.

I think I may have actually done it last night! Now I have to hope it stays with me!
