Midnight. If I fall asleep now, I'll get 7 hours sleep. The 16 year old
girl tossed and turned in her bed. 1am. If I fall asleep now, I'll get 6
hours sleep But she didnt fall asleep. In fact, the girl felt wide awake.
2:30am. Fuck it. The girl threw the covers back on her bed, (not for the
first time in the past two weeks) and slowly opened her bedroom and walked
down the hallway. Why do I have to be awake at this time? Creaking down the
stairs and walking through the dining room into the kitchen, the girl
realised that she could see quite well, considering the room was almost
pitch black, except for the streetlight shining in through the curtains in
the living room. Strange...Oh well. Guess there must be some truth in
the"eat carrots, theyre good for your eyesight". She opened the cupboard
door and pulled out a glass, walked the length of the kitchen to fill it up
with water. Stubbing her toe on something, the girl mutters "fuck. ouch.
fuck". Catching her reflection in the window, the girl noticed that she
didnt look like shit. Which was suprising, due to the entire lack of sleep
for almost two weeks. The lack of sleep wouldnt bother her, only Ive got a
bloody chemistry exam tomorrow...well, this morning, and staying awake in
it will be hard enough, never mind answering the bloody questions. Glancing
in the window again, the girl noticed that she had slight bags under the
eyes. Looks like a job for concealer later. She felt tired, all the time.
Probably because, for the 4 hours sleep she was getting a night, she made
herself stay awake all day, to prevent disrupting her sleep pattern even
more. Trouble was, when it got dark, she was wide awake again and full of
energy, no matetr how tired she felt inside. Looks like another trip to the
doctor. Probably got some life-threatening disease to make up for all the
times ive NOT been ill.
