I have a few reasons of why I wish to be released from the 2-year contract. For starters, ever since the first month of college started when my friend took her life in the dorms on September 23, I have been having nightmares at least 2-3 times a week when I sleep in the dorms. It doesn’t matter if I am sleeping in my room or in my friend’s room; I still wake up in the middle of the night having bad dreams. I get super afraid when I am alone at night in my room because I can just imagine the…

coming tonight!” “What!” I can’t believe a storm is coming, the thought of the wind gushing through my windows, and all that lighting, thunder and rain! Last storm I actually asked my parents to sleep in their room. It’s not normal for a 13 year old girl to sleep in their parents room. The clock read 9:30 PM, which means it’s time to go to bed since I have school tomorrow. As I lay in bed I can’t sleep, the thought of storms and strong winds frightens me. A moment later I hear rain pounding on…

There are many sleep disturbances that affect people of getting a good night’s sleep, such as insomnia and sleep apnea or narcolepsy as the text book describes.
