The Z Monster

In my part of the USA a colloquial term for sleeping is getting some Zees (ZZZ). In Basic Training we didn’t have the opportunity to sleep well if at all. Sleep was just another enemy to be conquered. We battled the Z monster. If the monster won and we fell asleep when we shouldn’t, there was hell to pay. I say all this because I have been fighting a losing battle against the Z Monster in the past few days. I just can’t seem to sleep right. It’s taking its toll physically and psychologically. The Z Monster is winning.
