To sleep is a poem of William Wordsworth, one of the romantic poets of the Romantic poetry age. This poem is a sonnet, consisting of 14 lines . In the poem the poet is affected by "insomnia". In the poem the poet is sleepless all the night, lying on his bed thinking of flocks of sheep that pass near by, the sound of the imaginary rain, murmuring of bees, clear fields and so on. He is reviving all his thoughts to unlock the treasure of "SLEEP", lying sleepless for three days by all means of hook and crook he is trying to gather the sleep.[1]
