Sleep

September 26sleep;cupcake yawning;yawn;dog

I am thankful for sleep. I am not one of those people that sleeps their life away. Being awake, to me, is preferable to sleeping. However, when I am tired and need rest, there is nothing better than a night's worth of sleep. As I age, I tend to sleep fewer hours straight through but I do find myself taking a short afternoon nap occasionally. All in all, sleep is good for refreshing us and giving us a new day to begin again.

This is my dog Cupcake giving out a big ole yawn. I thought this would represent sleep because yawns come when you are sleepy.

sandman is well acquainted with night

but these days something just isn’t right

for i tend to cheat him by limiting my time of sleep

and catch him unawares by counting sheep

but worse than that is my daytime trap

i catch him in by taking my afternoon nap.
