These things I use, instead of counting sheep.
But, I sleep not a peep.
Wonder, wonder, wonder why?

I have to bore mine to death. It is hard to sleep with a racing mind and two 25 pound cocker spaniels draped over you! I have even tried earphones with music but every time the rhythm changes the dogs wake up. Can’t win!
