“Can I get something to sleep” is a question I’ve come to dread
I don’t have a pill, but a long winded answer instead
Poor sleep has a list of reasons that I explain
While I can treat physiological reasons such as pain
That interfere with sleep, more often than not
I am unable to offer my patients a lot
Most of them have tried multiple interventions anyway
That do not address the various factors at play..

Who can empathize with my patients better than me
Poor sleep is my numero uno enemy
If only I could get uninterrupted sleep every night
Getting through each day would be less of a fight
I know that pills would not solve my sleep issue
But I don’t really know what to do…
*
So this is a topic on which I can commiserate
With my patients, even when their insomnia I cannot ameliorate
As on the tenets of good sleep hygiene I expound
I remind myself to follow them too for sleep sound
Passion...unbridled 
My problem is all of a sudden my mind turns on–I am guessing–at about 1 or 2 in the morning. I never look at my phone to see what time it really is, but darn that is annoying. My husband takes a nap during the day yet still falls asleep and stays asleep all night. Not fair! 😁
