Where is sleep?

Where is sleep?

So many deep in slumber,
So many fast asleep.
But for a few of us,
Dreamland is out of reach.
Focused thinking about gentle waves lapping at the white sand beach,
The picket fence or hedge and fluffy bouncing sheep.
Many visits to the back of eyelids,
Concentrating on slowing how we breathe.
And yet the land of nod, the sand mans dream gift eludes me,
Please oh please just let me sleep.

hello. i too suffer from insomnia and can tell you the one thing that has worked for me is the Sleep With Me podcast which can be found at sleepwithmepodcast.com

its very effective at getting you off to sleep.

i like this poem very much, especially the plaintive cry at the end.
