Snatchletts of Snooze

Now here's a piece of invaluable advice,
That will alter your attitude to sleep.
To change your snooze sense, from naughty to nice,
Scatter overtired, night-counted sheep.

My suggestion is snatch a brief bout when you can,
Forego twenty minutes of day.
To try supplement an ever retreating night's span,
And the result will I'm sure you dismay.

Batteries both physical and mental will be,
Topped up in a way unexpected.
Afternoon fatigue will be banished and flee,
Back to nighttime with aplomb redirected.

Thinking will be cleared and duly refreshed,
Problems, you'll find suddenly resolved.
Thoughts which were priorly so intermeshed,
Will all of a sudden be mysteriously dissolved.

A miracle moment, when tired muddle or maze,
Will transform disproportionate to time.
Blow away a descending and late daytime haze,
Provide an outcome quite slumber sublime.

So take my advice, and give it a try,
For its investment in life and in health.
This simple but wonderful panacea apply,
Scintillate your day's sleep by snooze stealth.
