Analysis of Child Sleep Problems



Fears:
Fears I learned, both right and error.
Shades of sleep make vivid terror.
Relationship difficulties:
Unsolved problems, silent focus.
Arena dark, bedtime locus.
Conditions:
Rested, excited or the unknown.
My restiveness adults be-groan.
Somnambulism:
Wakeful desires held back, suppression.
In slumber find sleepwalk expression.
Narcolepsy and sleep paralysis:
Conflict, confusion, indecision;
Benumbed escape is sleep's provision.
Enuresis:
For unmet needs my urination.
Passive-aggressive retaliation.
