Falling Asleep Sometimes it is really hard to fall asleep. Most nights, I close my eyes and wake when the sun shines on my pillow in the morning.
When I can't fall asleep, I think about many things that I don't like. I think about all the things I have to do the next day. But mostly I just get angry that I can't fall asleep.
Dad always tells me to count sheep. Mom often brings me some warm milk. She tells me to drink slowly, and when I've finished to count backwards from 100.
Sheep....numbers....warm milk... nothing seems to help - and it seems like a long time, lying there in the darkness.
But suddenly I am awake, and it is morning. The sun is beaming through the curtains...and I don't worry about the night before, or remember falling asleep at all.
