I tried with all my might but I just could not stay awake. My eyelids grew heavier by moment until I finally caved in and dozed off. When I was abruptly awakened 15 minutes later, by an old lady poking my ribs with her fancy umbrella, I realized that I missed my stop again.

I also dozed off during lectures, during lunch breaks, in shower, while talking to my mom o?n phone; well almost any place that left me feeling comfortable.

Perhaps it was time for me to take o?n those extra lectures o?n sleep therapy after all. Insomnia is an awful thing to go through. The inability to fall asleep and difficulty to initiate and maintain sleep can be quite irksome.
