You flip and turn/toss and moan/shift in bed, hoping for some relief/sweet dreams/peace.

Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock ticks, a mocking reminder of the time that flees away. Gloom stretch and yawn across the room as I glint out into the vacant night. The world rests, but my mind races like a dervish. My thoughts tangled in a chaotic frenzy, each one a screeching echo of my worry. This tedious cycle leaves me, sapping my willpower. I crave for sleep, but it fades just as I grasp for it.
Staring at Sheep That Never Come

- Anxiety began to invade, as I longed for the calming rhythm of their baaing.
- Rest eluded me, trapped in a cycle of counting.
Insomnia's Grip
Sleep, once a comforting sanctuary, now flees me like a phantom. Each night, the darkness descends, bringing with it not peace, but a mounting anxiety. My mind races frantically, trapped in a relentless cycle of thoughts that jumble. I toss and struggle, exhausted by the very thing that should bring me comfort: sleep.
- Hours creep by, each one a painful reminder of my vulnerability.
- The world beyond sleeps soundly, unaware of my internal torment.
- Dawn arrives, bringing with it a heavy sense of defeat and a lingering exhaustion that afflicts me throughout the day.
Wrestling With the Night
The night's orb hung low in the sky, casting long streaks across the quiet landscape. A bitter wind moaned through the trees, fting with it the scent of autumn leaves. It was a hour when anxiety could easily grip your heart. Few people found solace in the darkness, but for others, it was a arena where their inner demons came to life.
- He battled their personal problems, seeking an escape from the night's grip.
- Throughout this strength could be discovered, but it often came at a great toll.
Energy From Terror
Nightmare fuel, it consumes in the deepest crevices of your mind. It's the stuff that makes sleep terrors, manifests as phantoms under your bed, and leaves you shaking in the cold dawn. Some crave it, some dread it. But once you've felt its icy touch, you can never truly be free.

- Within your sleep
- A haunting echo
