O Dark Hundred Starting at the Ceiling

O Dark Hundred Staring at the Ceiling

At O dark hundred
My mind wanders down
Rabbit holes
Nightmares overwhelmed me.
As gripped with insomnia
I stare at the ceiling
Hoping to get some sleep
Which never comes.

O dark hundred is a military intel jargon for the time two hours before dawn at the dead of night when military special forces operatives and spies get up to prepare for dawn operations. Depending upon the season and location it is between 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. For me I often have insomnia at 0 Dark hundred or between 3 a.m. to 4 .a.m.
