Sleep medicine

mostly the paranoia of not knowing when the baby would start crying, thinking that I wasn’t going to be able to get any sleep because I was so paranoid, and thinking about how cranky I would be in the morning; that made me sleepless. One thing you should know about me is that I am a worrywart and I overthink things a lot. So while yes the crying was horrible, but the amount of sleep that I lost was due to the amount of overthinking and worrying I spent the entire night doing. My mother woke up…

on his face. I drove back and forth, made the volume of my radio high and open the window of the car. But, because it was difficult to know how he physically react and hurt himself, I did not want to knock his car window. I assumed that he may have sleep deprivation or tired for some reasons.

After school I had agreed to meet with my friend to try out this BBQ restaurant again. The place is off of Rockville Pike and looks like a regular…

As I wake up to the blinding, beating, scorching sun on my face I hear the clashing of plates and a distant yet familiar rhythm coming from what I assume is the kitchen.

I sneakingly walk to the kitchen barefooted to see what all the commotion is when my mother quickly catches my not so sneaky footsteps and yells…

Right when I awoke, I noticed Atticus, my father, sitting next to my bed, a book open on his lap. I tried to get out of bed, and that is when I realized that something was wrong. My elbow was pointing the wrong way. I was taken aback for a second and then it all came flooding back to me. Something awful had happened in my small town of Maycomb.Someone had been after my sister, Scout, and me. First, Scout and I had been walking back from the Halloween pageant. The night had been like black…

Plugged In Every night, I help clean my house after my little sisters are asleep. Since it is late, I have to be sure not to wake them up, so I put in my headphones and listen to music. I’m just putting something away, when my parents walk in the room. I think nothing of it and keep working. I hear is a muffled voice coming from behind me, I turn around and take out my headphones, asking them to say it again. “It’s because you’re so distracted by music that it takes you so long to do anything”.…

Orientation: It was a really quiet night, the cricket neighbours were singing, the wind was howling and you can hear the talk of the loud community.

Beep! Beep! Beep! As I twist and turn in bed and glimpse down at the luminous phone in my pitch black bedroom. While picking my phone up, I see that Tristan messaged me and said "Get up! I'll be there in 5 minutes to pick you up! The waves are firing!", I instantly look towards the clock to see that I overslept.
