I haven't slept through the night for a long time. And when a teenager only gets about 7.5 hours of sleep, they can't AFFORD to spend any minute of it awake! Regrettably, that's what's been going on.
You see, our stupid alarm system keeps beeping. Not going off or anything, just beeping for no particular reason. In the middle of the night. It's loud enough to wake me, but not too loud for me to go back to sleep...for about an hour. Then the process starts over. And you might say, "Come on, Cheese, all you have to do is just get up and turn it off!" Maybe that's true. But when it's ONE A.M. and I'm exhausted, I don't want to get up out of my nice warm bed to go shut off the dumb alarm! It doesn't bug anyone else in my house because they can't hear it, so I am on my own.
I fell asleep in science. I never sleep in class. Ever. Especially in science, where I don't trust the classmates that could potentially have sharpies. But today, I fell asleep. I know because all of a sudden my teacher's voice got super loud. You know how when you jolt awake, everything suddenly gets really clear and...loud? Well, that happened. So I'm pretty sure I was asleep. Thankfully, it was only for a few seconds, and nobody seemed to notice. What if this happens again, and it actually matters?! What if they notice, and get out their sharpies?! I LIKE MY FACE ABOUT AS MUCH AS A TEENAGE GIRL POSSIBLY CAN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
And how am I supposed to have energy for my *counts* un, deux, trois, quatre, CINQ after-school activities if I don't sleep through the night?! This is all really overwhelming right now, and I'm just going to go have a breakdown from the exhaustion. BYE. *sobs*
