Isn't there a Barenaked Ladies song regarding sleep.....something like "Who needs sleep? Yeah, you're never gonna get it. Who needs sleep? Hey, what's that for?" Am I making this up? Anyone?
Even if I made it up....that's where I am right now.
Now I lay me down not to sleep I just get tangled in the sheets I swim in sweat three inches deep I just lay back and claim defeat
Chapter read and lesson learned I turned the lights off while she burned So while she's three hundred degrees I throw the sheets off and I freeze
Lids down, I count sheep I count heartbeats The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep I countdown, I look around
Who needs sleep? well you're never gonna get it Who needs sleep? tell me what's that for Who needs sleep? be happy with what you're getting There's a guy who's been awake since the Second World War
My hands are locked up tight in fists My mind is racing, filled with lists of things to do and things I've done Another sleepless night's begun
Lids down, I count sheep I count heartbeats The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep I countdown, I look around
Who needs sleep? well you're never gonna get it Who needs sleep? tell me what's that for Who needs sleep? be happy with what you're getting There's a guy who's been awake since the Second World War
Who needs sleep? well you're never gonna get it Who needs sleep? tell me what's that for Who needs sleep? be happy with what you're getting There's a guy who's been awake since the Second World War
There's so much joy in life, so many pleasures all around But the pleasure of insomnia is one I've never found With all life has to offer, there's so much to be enjoyed But the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can't avoid
Lids down, I count sheep I count heartbeats The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep I countdown, I look around
Hala Hala Hala
Who needs sleep? well you're never gonna get it Who needs sleep? tell me what's that for Who needs sleep? be happy with what you're getting There's a guy who's been awake since the Second World War

Great song!
You totally have it:
Now I lay me down not to sleep
I just get tangled in the sheets
I swim in sweat three inches deep
I just lay back and claim defeat
Chapter read and lesson learned
I turned the lights off while she burned
So while she's three hundred degrees
I throw the sheets off and I freeze
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around
Who needs sleep?
well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War
My hands are locked up tight in fists
My mind is racing, filled with lists
of things to do and things I've done
Another sleepless night's begun
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around
Who needs sleep?
well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War
Who needs sleep?
well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War
There's so much joy in life,
so many pleasures all around
But the pleasure of insomnia
is one I've never found
With all life has to offer,
there's so much to be enjoyed
But the pleasures of insomnia
are ones I can't avoid
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around
Hala Hala Hala
Who needs sleep?
well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War
