Attention everyone!

Go to bed early!

Feeling exhausted all day?

Go to bed!

Seeing hallucinations?

How are you reading this?

You are literally dying,

Go to bed now!

Are you getting unreasonably irritated,

By others' normal quirks,

And your friends' little mistakes?

Your brain is too tired to tolerate anything,

Go to bed earlier,

And you will be more patient!

Is anxiety driving you insane?

Your brain is too exhausted to rationalize,

Go to bed on time,

And you will be calmer!

Do you have too much to do?

Too bad,

Go to bed!

How can you expect to do your work sufficiently,

If you refuse to give your brain and body a break!

Go to bed early!
