In Sonnet 27, the three quatrains present the problem, which is the speaker's inability to sleep because he is thinking and imagining his beloved.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sonnet 27 in the 1609 Quarto. This sonnet is about sleeplessness; the tired body kept awake by a restless, highly-charged mind. When Shakespeare tries to sleep he finds his thoughts drawn to the Fair Youth. A similar theme of sleeplessness is explored again in Sonnet 43.
