The Big Snooze

After several rounds of tossing and turning on his bed, he pushes himself up in the sitting position staring blankly into the pitch darkness of the room. He fumbled with the sheets as he rises from the bed, a place that was meant for comfort and relaxation had now turn into a place of torture,was it not last night that he slept on the same bed like a log of wood,but now the bed has refused to act on his sole purpose.
He wadded through the darkness, tapping furniture as he tries to get a source of light when the inevitable happened, "bam!!!" His little toe has a collision with the cupboard..."ugh!" He exclaimed as he let out a word or two words of distress. Hopping the rest of the way he was able to make it to the light source without any other collision.
"Okay, so what am i to do?" He questioned himself after making two trips to the fridge , first one to get a glass of cold water, the second was for an apple in the fridge. He stands at the centre of the living room apple in one hand, staring at the furniture as if to receive some sought of inspiration from the inanimate objects as to what the next line of action would be, after a few seconds he jolts forward towards the television..."this should keep me busy and hopefully make me sleep" he muttered to himself, as he takes his seat.
He glances up at the wall clock, 3:52am, he lets out air as he flicks through the television channels for the umpteenth time. The next line of action seen to have come a liitle easier than the first and rationale goes in favour of it, the rational being that if the body gets tired then he gets to sleep, without hesitation he drops to the floor and begin to do push ups, "one, two, three, four....fiiiiivvveee...sixxxx...se....", "ugh!" He exclaims again as he drops to the floor this time flat in exhaustion, he waited a while for the sleep to kick in...moments passed as he still notices that he is still staring at the same spot on the ceiling with no likelihood of sleep coming up.
He resorts to his final option as he drags his body off the floor and made his way to his working desk,looked up again at the time, 4:15am switched on the laptop and went in search of quick cures for insomnia, results upon results but nothing useful was coming up, but he kept searching until finally the bright light of the laptop became dim and text turned blurry, and he rest his head on the table for the big snooze, the time was 5:43am.
