Sleeplessness. Wakefulness. Restlessness.

Insomnia strikes again. I dunnow why, but even though I really want to close my eyes and wander in my dreams, I couldn’t get to sleep.

It was already 10:30pm, however, there I was, lying down at my bed, staring at the ceiling with my eyes wide open. I still couldn’t slumber. Geez. I need to snooze ASAP!
