Almost 40 Syndrome

Sleep so thin,
It definitely doesn't feel like a win,

Headache so pounding,
Even the second hand on my clock is resounding,

No one warned me that my body would act up,
Even if I don't slip-up,

My work and workout routine,
Make my sleep look like a crime scene,

There's no rest in sight,
However much I toss and turn and fight,

My 8 hour sleep is no where in sight,
My body feels like it's on constant fight or flight,

Off to bed I go,
Before my workday hits me on the face like a rough blow,

Almost 40 is not so bright afterall,
A turtle doing a slow crawl,

Suddenly looks faster than me,
Good night for now, inside my bed I shall burrow and flee.
