Lamplight
I'm sitting, lying, waiting
Seconds ticking by and I wish
Wish for the light in from window
To fade away
The mirror shining in the lamplight
From the street lamps outside
I toss and turn
In the street lamp dawn
I wanna sleep
I need to sleep
I need to wake up in the morning
I wanna sleep
Why can't I sleep
I'm sleeping in 'til noon
Because I do not sleep until five
I'm missing classes, missing chances
To figure it out
Is it just stress or is it fear
Or something angrier still
All I know is that I can't sleep
In the street lamp dawn
Dawn
Street
Street lamp dreams
Street lamp dreams
Street lamp dawn
Street lamp dawn
Sleep
Sleep all day
Sleep all night
Sleep
I wanna sleep
I need to sleep
I need to wake up in the morning
I wanna sleep
Why can't I sleep
Give me some sleep
Kiss of sleep
Kiss of relief
I wanna sleep
Some relief
Just a little sleep
When it's still dark out
I want sleep
Give me sleep
Just a dream or two, please
Give me some time in the night
Time to rest to sleep to dream
To feast
The seconds tick on the alarm clock
That is useless as hell
It hasn't woken me, woken me
For months now
I sleep too deeply, sleep to sweetly
When I can sleep at all
When I finally dream
In the street lamp dawn
Those gorram street lamps
And their higher cloud accomplises
Reflected lamplight
In the mirror, in my room, on my skin
And I can't sleep through it
I just can't sleep
No I can't sleep through it
No I just can't sleep
At night
Bum-bum, ba-dada-bum
Rra-rum, ra-dada-dum
Ra-dada, rra-ma-da
Rra-ma-da, rada-dum
Bum-bum, ra-dada-dada-dum
Rra-tatum, ska-rada-dum
Ska-rada
Ska-rada
Ska-rada
Ratata-ratata-rum
I wanna sleep
I need to sleep
I need to wake up in the morning
I wanna sleep
Why can't I sleep
Can you tell me please
Why can't I sleep
Why can't I sleep
Why can't I sleep
At night
Seconds ticking by and I wish
Wish for the light in from window
To fade away
The mirror shining in the lamplight
From the street lamps outside
I toss and turn
In the street lamp dawn
I wanna sleep
I need to sleep
I need to wake up in the morning
I wanna sleep
Why can't I sleep
I'm sleeping in 'til noon
Because I do not sleep until five
I'm missing classes, missing chances
To figure it out

Or something angrier still

oh dear...that is very much a problem..
Step one - drugs! they work for all those people who die of overdoses, why don't you give them a try.
Step two, if for some reason you don't like step one - find something horribly painful and hire someone to do that to you every single day for two weeks at a set time, like eight am or whenever you need to get up. Because if you correct your sleeping patterns, you might have less of an issue.
Step three - if you're a sissy little baby and don't actually want to inflict harm - watch gilmore girls episode 3-01 (44) the opening scene and hire someone to do that to you. not the kissing and being pregnant part, the before that part.
I guess these aren't really steps, they're more like options. alternatively, you could try staying up for eleven straight days to prove you can do it. apparently you get severe hallucinations after a while, but hey, it's only exam time...
at least you don't blame being tired and not going to class on having a roommate who snores, when really you stay up until all hours of the night (or in fact, all night) playing WoW. or maybe you do. maybe you should just try going to bed at nine in the evening (or ten, maybe) and force yourself to stay in bed all night even if you can't sleep, with an alarm clock (or several) and a person as a back-up waking up person (and not a kind one. a violent one)
just my 1.72 cents (it would be 2, but currency difference, see...)
Nights that I work, I work until 10:30, and then don't get home til around 11:00, and then I eat food because I haven't had dinner yet. So it's at least 11:30 before bed can even reasonably be considered.
Also, these are song lyrics and in writing them I blew reality far out of proportion.
