Something is wrong with the way that I sleep
Consistency isn’t a thing that I keep
And 4 AM wakefulness seems to persist
No matter how much sleep I’ve otherwise missed
Last night I arose at mere 4:48
And stayed in my wakefulness far far too late
Rejected alarm as my bleary last stand
In order to claim time in dear slumberland
But this morning I rise at the dread 6 AM
Intentional this time, no sleep loss to stem
Moreover the NFL’s playing tonight
So my roommates are shouting, “no, no, stop, wait, fight?!”
As such we will see how my sleep tonight goes
And tomorrow perhaps I’ll report on my woes
