After midnight things start to come alive, espically my brain. My thoughts bump into one another, and I'm unable to think clearly. It happens as soon as I try to sleep, it's almost like my thoughts do it on purpose. They know I need to sleep and that's just the perfect time for them to all start speaking at once.
I get distracted by everything. The faintest sound will keep me awake. I don't know why, but I've always been this way. I'm jealous of people who can drift off easily and are heavy sleepers. I will look up at my ceiling hoping to fall asleep, but no matter how many sheep I count, I cannot. I will stare into the darkness until my body can't take it any longer and will finally allow me to rest.
After midnight is the worst part of my day, what's yours?
