Why is going to sleep so complicated?!
-------------*-------------
You might spend your whole day feeling tired and exhausted, looking forward to the moment your head hits the pillow. But almost always, without fail, the moment you lie down to go to sleep, you`re all of a sudden wide awake and your brain is restless and spinning, making it impossible for you to go to sleep. And as you toss and turn, stressing as the clock gets closer and closer to that dreadful time when your alarm will go off and you still can`t fall sleep, these are all the things you do.

Your logic is, it`ll take your mind off trying to sleep and help you fall asleep naturally, but then after 20 minutes of scrolling through Twitter, you start to wonder if the Internet is the solution or the problem when it comes to your sleep deprivation.

You know the rational thing to do would be to accept that it`s the pipes rattling and go to sleep, but your brain won`t accept rational thought and would rather imagine it`s Freddy Krueger or Chuckie come to murder you in your sleep.

It happens multiple times a year, from taking your driver`s license test to your first day of school to the homecoming dance... Whatever very important day it is, you`re definitely going to look like a zombie for it since you didn`t get any sleep the night before.

You know for certain you will not be able to function tomorrow. And even though you know stressing out over the lack of sleep you`re getting isn`t helping, you still can`t stop.
