what does the speaker of the poem insomniac do that is so paintful?

I think: The speaker of the poem is talking about how hard it is to go to sleep at times. 2 stanzas? Though I am not sure, usually stanzas are like mini-paragraphs, if you will, separated by a line. "Coy" meaning shy. The speaker tries to call sleep's "service" to his or her side, but it is useless (like wounded pride) except much more painful than wounded pride.
