I Don't Sleep A Lot
Exhausted Existence: Battling Sleepless Nights with Broken Barcodes
Lyrics
I exist exhausted. I don't sleep a lot
I am in a state of exhaustion, and my sleep is insufficient.
I go to bed at ten, but I wake up at 11 o'clock
I go to bed early, but I struggle to stay asleep, waking up shortly after.
My brain refuses to turn off
My mind is active and refuses to shut down.
It'll be at least an hour before I stop staring at my clock
Even after going to bed, it takes me at least an hour to stop staring at the clock, indicating difficulty falling asleep.
My doctor tells me I stop breathing more than 200 times every evening
Medical information: The person stops breathing more than 200 times each night, possibly indicating a sleep disorder.
I want the energy to make it through the day
Expressing a desire for more energy to navigate daily activities.
I'm worn out in life and my fatigue gets in the way
Feeling tired in life, and fatigue becomes an obstacle.
I don't know if sleep's the only thing it takes
Uncertainty about whether sleep alone can address the exhaustion.
but I'm sure it'd get me more than half the way
Belief that better sleep could significantly improve the situation.
I exist exhausted. I don't sleep a lot
Reiteration of the exhaustion and lack of sufficient sleep.
At two AM, I toss and turn and wrestle with my thoughts
Specifically, struggling with restless thoughts around 2 AM.
By five, my cat demands his food
The singer's cat demands attention or food at 5 AM, interrupting sleep.
And at that point I just stay up until it hits me around noon
Choosing to stay awake after the cat's interruption until around noon.
My doctor tells me I stop breathing more than 200 times every evening
Reiteration of the medical information about frequent interruptions in breathing during sleep.
I want the energy to make it through the day
Expressing the desire for energy to endure daily activities despite the sleep challenges.
I'm worn out in life and my fatigue gets in the way
Continued struggle with fatigue affecting the quality of life.
I don't know if sleep's the only thing it takes
Uncertainty about the sole role of sleep in addressing the exhaustion.
but I'm sure it'd get me more than half the way
Belief that improved sleep could contribute significantly to overcoming exhaustion.
