Spite of what you think from this poem, I don't have insomnia and I do get enough sleep. This is just a fun poem playing with words and the sleep problems that people have.

Somniac


Good sleep, I do not lack,
for I am surely, a somniac.

I fall asleep while studying,
I fall asleep while reading,
I fall asleep while driving,
I fall asleep while watching TV,
I fall asleep while talking,
I fall asleep while having sex,
I fall asleep while thinking,
and,
I even fall asleep while,
daydreaming.

At nighttime I wake up,
to make things just right,
fall back to sleep and dreams,
throughout the whole damn night.

I don't sleep much every day,
just four or five hours.
I just can't wake up very much,
face the day and smell the flowers.

Insomnia is not for me,
I sleep far too much,
so I must be just a somniac,
with a Sandman's touch.

Come sleep with me,
and you will see,
a world of wondrous dreams.

Where all is soft and comfortable,
like clouds of petals fragrant,
bursting with love at the seams.

I ain’t no maniac, no no no!
Just a somniac at heart,
let me sing her praises,
but don't make me start.

I am of late an insomniac, as I am writing this it is 3:40am & I cannot get to sleep at all. I have been sleeping, when I do, during the day & while I don't like it this way, I don't seem to have a choice or so its all I can say...:) -e-

I think we all need a little bit of the sandman in our rooms, hearts, and dreams. Your poem was adorable. I love to sleep too. and dream,
have a wonderful day Ron, do send Mr. S, my way, hugs.

I tend toward insomnia--I even count backwards from 500 to induce sleep. That only serves to make me more alert.

Sleep is such a precious commodity for most.

You fall asleep while reading...LOL!!! - This explains why sometimes you lack imagination when reading others' work. :o)

I agree with you, Ron, I believe I am a Somiac also. Take today for instance. I slept well last night, but I still needed a nap. So I lay back down and slept SIX HOURS!

Sleep away, sleep all day.
A world of dreams is coming your way.

I truly hope you were jesting about falling asleep while driving, and especially during sex. That's never happened to me. It takes longer than 60 seconds for me to fall asleep.

Love this. From your insomniac friend.
