catch some zzz

after a trying day at work all i could manage to do when returning home was collapse on to my couch
i haven't napped in quite some time
even a week ago, working my 7 to 3 shift, i never once slept during the day
sleeping during the day comes easier to me than sleep at night
once the clock strikes midnight i'm awarded with an extra boost of energy
even when i am exhausted
and lie in bed at 10 o clock
my body refuses to shut down
i'll be curled up in bed
eyes closed
mind racing
for hours at a time
falling asleep four to five hours after i had anticipated
waking up every half or so
until i must roll out of bed and resume my work schedule

the only time i'm able to effectively sleep is after a night spent with my dear friend, merlot
a couple of glasses of that
some oxy
and i'll be out within an hour

excellent sleep too
