Insomnia is defined by the quality of your sleep and how you feel after sleeping—not the number of hours you sleep or how quickly you doze off. Even if you’re spending eight hours a night in bed, if you feel drowsy and fatigued during the day, you may be experiencing insomnia

Dreams
Eyes like precious stones That illuminate a grieving heart, Speak to me silently Of hidden tales of desire.
Softly spoken symphonies
Lips the color of a crimson fire truck On the verge of saving a home from flames, Ironically set my heart ablaze, As wildfire passion consumes my brain.
Free -Falling Fast
Arms that fall lightly, Caressing my waist Like a graceful swan’s gliding wings, Ready to catch me the moment I fall.
Light Weight Feathers
Heart that beats rapidly Like buildings shaking as the earth quakes, Seismograph of love Always measuring silently.
Nail-Biting Nerves
I’ve studied your features a million times, When you visited my thoughts at night; Yet never has it felt as real, As now that I’m in front of you.
A Restless Heart’s Satisfaction
Love imagined Is not always reliable, But at last I met the one Who always lingered in my dreams.
Peace of Mind.
sleep paralysis
Sleep paralysis is the scary experience when you are consciously awake and aware while your body is still paralyzed from REM sleep. Frequently hallucinations and nightmares are a part of it, as well as a tightening of the chest, idiomatically, a “demon on your chest.” While anyone can get sleep paralysis, it correlates with narcolepsy and sleep apnea.
