“But I want to sleep,” I groaned to myself on reading the warning on the packet: May cause drowsiness.
I had not slept, or hardly slept, or not slept properly (which I couldn’t have said) for days. During the day I daydreamed about dreaming, sleeping deeply and soundly while adventuring in the far flung corners of my mind, but at night I just couldn’t.
So I’d resorted to pills but the warning only filled me with the anxiety I felt each night as I begun another failed attempt to sleep well.
Perhaps Plan B: Get Smashed would become my approach.

Written for the Light and Shade Challenge from the both the written prompt, "Instructions on a pack of sleeping tablets - "May Cause Drowsiness""
Very accurate description of sleeplessness.
