~May Your Light Shine :D~

Why is it so easy for some people to fall asleep at say, 11pm at night when they woke up at 9am that morning and even had a 2 hour nap in the afternoon? I really envy them.

I don't fall asleep so easily.

Instead, I am the kind who has to purposely tire myself out so that I can fall asleep once my head hits the pillow. If I exert too little energy during the day, I won't be able to fall asleep even if I woke up at 6.30am that morning. It takes me ages to get to slumberland.

This problem stays with me overseas as well. When everyone in the coach is using every free moment to catch up on sleep, I struggle to keep myself awake, because I know that even if I sleep for an hour, I won'[t be able to sleep that night.

Insomnia is the worst feeling ever. Your mind feels tired, your eyes feel tired, you want to lie down and get some well deserved rest, but someh0ow you can't because your body refuses to. And then the next day, your body complains that you get too little sleep. It refuses to let me sleep, then it sends me fatigue to tell me that I need more sleep. What is this?

So if you catch me falling asleep in class, it's not my fault. I can't help it. And don't tell me to take a nap in the afternoon, it'll only worsen the condition.
