Sheep don't hop over fences.

I can't sleep.

My parents have always said I am a great sleeper, but learning about sleep in health I think I am actually an awful sleeper. The reason I can fall asleep anywhere is because I really need the sleep, and when your body really needs it, it will not let you say no.

Although I have always been a sleepy person, I just need more sleep than the average person, which sucks because no one gets that I need sleep and everyone gets mad when I decide not to do something because I am tired. Or if they call and I am asleep.

I often wish, especially last year, that there is some disease explaining why I am like this and I can tell all of my friends and teachers and they would be a little more understanding. Well if I told them they would only think I was making it up, so I would have let them find out somehow, but it doesn't matter because I have no excuse to be this way. I wish that I could be like Albert Einstein and sleep when I am dead, but I am burdened with this awful exhaustion.

Referring back to my earlier comment, I can't sleep. Not because I am not tired, because I start to fall asleep on my homework most nights. The problem is as soon as I decide "Okay that's it, I'm going to bed." I remember my grades, and how I need to get up early tomorrow, and that I don't have my lines memorized and I lie awake for an hour worrying. Of course I am still taking my afternoon naps, I can't through a day without them. It's the only real time I can sleep.

Wow that was a lot to say about a small topic.
My eyes are starting to sting so I think I might just go to sleep. Oh wait I can't I have more AP work than I can handle.

ugh.
