sleep. to sleep in dreamless slumber
without exhaustion or pills to take
not having to remember
what out i must wake

to sleep with warm arms around me
and wake with them still there.
without worrying about getting free
because i know they care.

to sleep with quiet dreams to lull me
no nightmares to haunt my brain
just calming things to see,
and not wake in fright again.

Possibly Shakespeare said it equally well

To be, or not to be

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.-- Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.

I tire, therefore I sleep.
I sleep, for I must, as my eyes will soon weep
My eyes weep for the burn of energy has taken toll
The payment due being twisted back and nose in book
All night to sleep this way, as life needs charged, and with lights left on, they too, need charged.
