Sleepless in Memphis

I have an acute sleep problem. I don't have difficulty falling asleep, my problem is maintaining a quality sleep through the night due to a medical condition called sleep apnea. I use a CPAP to deal with it. Modern innovation in sleep therapy helps me go through the night so I can function the next day.
But then, I do have moments when I have difficulty falling asleep. This runs counter to how people close to me know me; I am known to fall asleep whenever and wherever. But it does happen that I'm up.

The poem in Bengali is about one of those nights when I am up.
