Do I need to pee?
Ugh, that’s too much effort, and I just got comfortable.
Did I set my alarms for tomorrow?
Whatever. Let them fire me.
Wait, no, don’t fire me, I have bills.
OK, brain, shut down.
Why is it so hot?
Did the A/C go out?
I really need to go to sleep.
Maybe I should count some sheep.
One sheep, two sheep, three sheep…this isn’t helping.
Where did the origin of counting sheep come from?
Should I grab my phone and google it?
NO. Grabbing my phone will lead to a TikTok doom scroll.
Why did it just get so cold?
Is it going to get colder?
Should I get another blanket?
Wait…I’m hot again.
Am I getting sick?
That will get me out of work.
Ugh, but I have that team meeting tomorrow.
I don’t think my boss will care about my sorrow.
Hey…that rhymed.
That’s not a crime.
I can do this all the time.
If I don’t get to sleep soon, I won’t wake up fine.
That was lame.
What a shame.
Okay, this isn’t a game.
Orange.
Ha, got me there...
One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four…
Now I really have to pee.
