Insomnia
I swear I have insomnia. For the past week I have stayed up every night until 4:30. I lay in bed and try to go to sleep, but sleep never comes. I get up and try doing something to see if it makes me tired enough to sleep but nothing seems to work. I've tried reading, counting sheep, doing laundry and a butt load of other things but nothing is doing the trick. Usually this whole staying up with only a couple hours sleep thing only happens once or twice a week, but lately its getting bad. When I finally do fall asleep I end up sleeping through my alarms and miss most of my classes. I can't email teachers and tell them why I didn't come to class because they're just gonna see it as an excuses or think I'm lying. Which really sucks because I'm starting to fail a lot of my classes because of my sleeping problem. I'm actually pretty sure I am going to fail this class and communications. UGH. I feel like such a failure. I hate failing and not doing things right, it makes me so disappointed in myself because I know its no ones fault but mine. Its like I worked my butt of to get into this school and then when I get here I don't take it seriously. And not in the way where I'm going out and partying every night or anything, I just got really lazy. Its hard keeping myself motivated, but I'm hoping next semester I'll do better. I'm going to try and get a job so that way I have less time to goof off and more of a set schedule. I think the schedule thing would also help me with my sleeping issue. I don't think I can take much more of this lack of sleep. It's 3:05 am right now...I should be sleeping....OHHHHHHH I forgot to mention that the screaming girls in the lobby of my dorm also don't help. They LITERALLY stay up till ungodly hours every night SCREAMING. Not like being load but actual screaming. They just stay in the lobby and keep everyone on the first floor up. It's been like that all semester. Aren't there supposed to be required quiet hours every night or something? THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.
