Sleep?
Not enough.
Rest?
Forget it.
Body-
Feeling rough.
Brain-
Dependent.
-
Eyes shut.
Alarm sounds.
Wake up.
Do the rounds.
Repeat.
And repeat.
And repeat.

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners
Welcome to the Winners Announcement for The Ritual of Winter challenge. This prompt focused on winter rituals and the meaning that settles into them over time. The top pieces stay grounded in ordinary acts and repeated routines, letting winter shape the work through pace, attention, and restraint.

Oh boy, this is the anthem of the sleep-deprived! Running on autopilot, caffeine, and sheer willpower—classic. Hope you get some solid Z’s soon!
