Why is the best sleep
right in the morning?
Awakened by a beeping
like a truck in reverse
to dreary weighted clouds
and patterned raindrops weeping
lulling unfinished misted
premature dreams
surfacing like ancient whales
from the depths of velvet slumber.
Sleep is the best comfort and medicine
but my nights are unusually long
half awake brain marbled
with unresolved troubles
worry and stress have taken
at least a thousand years
of wasted time spent.
My soul needs a detox cleanse
and a vacation.
I too find that I get the best sleep in the morning – just when I have to get up.

I used to sleep 10hrs a day! I had epic, vivid dreams, but I quit cigarettes and got addicted to my cellphone/iPad and the dream recall stopped. I think constant tech has destroyed my ability to sleep.
