A Calming Remedy

Sleep evades me
This afternoon’s sleep which I so enjoyed is my downfall
I lie in bed
Thinking about the concept of counting sheep
Repetition leading to boredom leading to sleep?
I choose to engage in Zikr
Astaghfirullah
Subhanallah
Alhamdullilah
Did I even get to Allahu Akbar?
I can’t remember
Not because of boredom
But because of the calming properties of the Zikr of Allah
And it was only on awakening I realised that I had a good night’s sleep
Shukar to Allah.
