If You Are Well Rested…

circadian rhythm 
awake and arise
serotonin sunshine
if you are well rested
the day begins well 

the body clock has a way
early to bed early to rise
makes a person healthy and wise
current lifestyles do not agree 
with this maxim, unsurprised 

entrainment is a habit 
and habits are hard to set
it takes twenty one days to make
only one day to break 
infinite scrolling; same wavelength 

circadian rhythm 
awake and arise
serotonin sunshine
if you are well rested
the day begins well

In lieu of belated World Sleep Day (March 17), I present a poem adhering to the prompts for Reena’s Xploration Challenge #272.

I have trouble falling asleep just as the next person…social media is often to blame for it. Gone are the days when I could sleep early and wake early…as we grow older we set our own routines be it good or bad.

My break yesterday was unplanned, but I think we all deserve a break every now and then. Keeping the creativity flowing is not easy…better to rest than risk burnout. I hope…you all get enough sleep and rest well.

Thanks for reading 💕
