Insomnia
Becker was exhausted but tossed in bed.
He didn't mind being called to work. He couldn't sleep anyway.
"Becker. You're dozing off standing up!" scolded Jess.
"I'm fine."
"You aren't. Go lie down."
He sighed. "Fine." He laid on a cot, not sleeping.
He tried a chair. Nothing.
Jess frowned. "Lester agrees. You need sleep."
"I've tried."
She tucked him in on the couch.
He was up in twenty minutes.
Finally, Jess dragged him into guest quarters.
"Jess?'
She lied down, holding out her arms. "Just sleeping, Becker."
He crawled into her embrace.
Jess softly giggled.
He was snoring.

Insomnia 2
"You look awful."
"You don't look so hot either."
Jess wrinkled her nose. "I wasn't commenting on our grooming, Becker."
He laughed. "Not many options in the Jurassic."
"You need sleep."
"I can't."
"Bed options aren't the greatest either."
He smiled.
"Give it a try."
He crawled onto the grass bed.
Didn't work.
He tried the hard floor. No.
"Maybe I should try a dinosaur mattress."
She smiled. "Or a fury, saber-toothed bed."
He laughed.
"Come here," she said.
He lay his head on her lap.
Instantly he fell asleep.
"You just needed the right bed," she whispered.
