A Million Thoughts Poem by Audrey Heller

When you can't fall asleep at
night, it's best if you get out
of bed. For the longer you
stay there and try, a million
thoughts, run through your
head. Now, that we have
all these thoughts, where
do we go from there? To
say that sleep will come to
us, I think that's pretty rare.
The best remedy I've been
told, is find a simple project
to do. One that keeps you
occupied, at least for an
hour or two. By this time, you
should feel tired and try to go
back to bed. Feeling a whole
lot better, there's nothing left
to dread!
