*yawn*

I did not sleep last night. Let us put it at that.

I went to bed at about ten last night, and I feel asleep in about forty minutes. Not bad for a person with insomnia, so things were looking up. Until I was awaken at about midnight by the hoarse coughing of one of my brothers (we all share the same room, but it usually isn't so bad). That pretty much kept me up all night. The coughing lasted about an hour, and even after that I couldn't get back to sleep.

For some reason, I've been having sleep problems ever since late fifth grade. Over all the years, I think it has been taking its toll. When I get home from school, I feel very low on energy. A good night's sleep is rare for me, usually. I don't sleep until one in the morning on weekdays, and I wake up at six-thirty in the morning for school. A five and a half hour sleep, usually. I've tried different methods to cure this insomnia. I used a little lavender scent spray on my pillow, because it is said that lavender helps calm the senses. But no, it didn't help for me. I just found it plain irritating.

Honestly, I don't like to complain about this stuff. Why? Usually people have days worse than I do. Believe me. I hate to think about those days. But sometimes, I simply love to speak my mind about things. If I just get things off my chest, it makes me feel much better about myself. I'm crossing my fingers for a better sleeping night, but I might have to wait on the weekend for a relaxing rest.

The source of this insomnia still remains a mystery to be, but for now I blame it on the pressure at school.
