Lazy eye turns and I see double
Tired eyes close, the start of the trouble
Drifting away, sleep seals my work
Minutes later, a sudden jerk
Awake now and ready to start
Writing half lines within my heart
It’s a price I pay with new meds
Wonder if it’s worth, sleeping instead

As I get older, Michael, I find sleep harder to come by and infinitely more attractive than it used to be.

I get my 4 to 6 a night, but after that I only nod off for minutes at a time… all the time. Plavix is one of the drugs responsible.

Back in my wild years I was a cranker and this going to sleep at the drop of the chin is crazy. Not that I’m advocating that life style because speed kills.
