Sleep Scoring

It is going to be a good night

By Michael OwczarekPublished 3 months ago • 1 min read

Knowing already

it can be done.

Breathing deeper,

eating sooner,

maybe even

sprawling into a stretch.

Right before bed.

On the ground

laying my head.

Super tired

but this routine is a keeper

so I keep going instead.

Excited, I get to check

as the wee morning

comes to be.

Sleep score is a 99!

I knew my body.

I knew it would like this.

My mind too.

These nights won't miss.

Might as well go for it -

I am starting to not be able

to fight this.

All the health,

and all the benefits.

I want more,

and nothing less.

Surely even if

it is a different day,

it is still the same week.

I do the same routine,

and expect a better result.

Why I ask myself?

Why even answer,

and jinx it -

it can happen

before I speak!

Let's just go to sleep.

I wake up.

Sleep score is a 99!

Ok, don't panic.

Not the number

that I dreamt of.

But what am I looking for?

I was just so happy

the morning before.

So, now you mean to tell me

this number is not the same.

Well of course not

because I am learning the game.

Well trained.

Surely, I am not

going...

don't say it.

Just follow the routine.

I already feel '99 sleep score' energy.

I can only imagine

what that other number

could be.

Look, it is bound to happen,

under the sheets

I feel myself unwind.

Wake up.

Sleep score is a 99!
