Waking up on August 30, 2017, it felt like any other morning: ordinary. I had been in Tokyo for the summer to intern at Kure Engineering Ltd. and everyday I would wake up around 8 am to get ready to leave by 9 am, and my aunt and I would turn on the tv to watch the news before we left. That day was supposed to be no different. However, everything changed when the I turned the tv on. The screen soon filled with the video footage of Kim Jong-Un and the taking off of a missle from North Korea.…

Tonight I lie awake in my cell, watching the steady stream of State propaganda, as it moves across the monitor. I haven’t been able to sleep, a single minute since Peter...visited me earlier today. I’ve tried not to think about what happened, but the fact that my throat still aches from where his hand gripped my throat hasn’t helped. After a while I get up and pace, stretching my arms, freed by a soldier sometime after Peter left, behind my back, and try to force myself to think of anything…

If I recall some of the darkest moments in my life, they involve a growling stomach keeping me awake at night, or limbs that feel like lead because I haven’t consumed enough energy to make them move properly, or crouching beside a toilet because I was worried about what that dessert would do to my figure. What is truly frightening is that my experience is one of the mildest of girls I have met. One would be hard-pressed to find a girl who did not restrict her eating or exercise to a point that…

I remember opening up my eyes unwillingly after being disturbed from a peaceful sleep. I looked over to the digital alarm clock set on my table on the right side of the bed. It was 1:18 a.m. on a Saturday night. I was awoken by a deep, resonating, humming noise that seemed very unusual. After watching The Shining before going to bed, I did not want to walk out of my bedroom door to find out what was going on, but the curiosity got to me. I pulled the blanket off of myself, being exposed to the…

It was Friday evening and it was around 5PM, I had just sat down to drink my coffee which I had brought from Starbucks. The coffee was the most delicious thing I have ever drank in my life. I can also tell you there is no other coffee shop that makes coffee as good as Starbucks. Just while I was enjoying the best part of my day I got a phone call. If I can remember well I think it was an old man on the phone. The old man told me that he had heard a loud scream from his neighbor Edgar A Poe’s…

A teenager wakes up on a horrible Monday morning, and has to get ready for school. He takes a shower, eats his breakfast, and is about to get on the bus. It is dark and gloomy outside, and then he puts on his headphones, closes his eyes, and watches the world as it lights up in the most beautiful of colors. That is me, almost every morning, because I am not looking forward to a long day of work, but when I put those headphones on, it feels like the day is going to go by quickly. When I listen to…

He couldn’t rest if his servants were working so hard for him. He should have told Cogsworth the truth. That he grew tired, that he felt weaker. That he was dying. “No, I can’t tell anyone yet.” Was his last thought before drifting into a restless sleep. Adam woke up just in time for dinner. He felt sweat damping his shirt, as a drop rolled down his chin. The last rays of sun fell on his groggy eyes, as he realized what time it was. A sudden urge told him he had to get ready for Isabelle. He…

Snores disturbed the morning peace. A big yawn and a large gust of wind russled me enough to wake me. I stretched side to side in order to shake away the nights stiffness. The cave walls were glistening with condensed barbarian breath, and old cave slime, a beautiful sight to behold. I struggled to get up, ready to enjoy the days tasks. First was a morning shower in the cavern waterfall. The cold wilderness water cascading all around always had a restorative effect on what could seem a brittle…

difference to your day. Sleep is vital to the human body as it helps to restore energy, improve immune functions, help us think more efficiently and creatively, strengthen memory and improve mood. Sleep is so much more than just a passive activity as it helps protect your mental and physical health, quality of life, and safety. The quality of the sleep you receive has a lot to do with the way you feel during the day. Sleep occurs in two stages; REM Sleep and Non-REM sleep. Both stages are…
