I know that I will be having problems with my sleep during the first weeks of my stay at the dorm. I am not comfortable sleeping on other beds, so I figured that it will be a problem. My sleeping problem became okay as the months go by. There were just a night or two that I wasn't able to sleep due to anxiety. But that was that.

Until the finals. The last time I slept was Monday evening and the next time I was able to sleep was on Thursday morning. Hey, not because I was killing myself to studying; I just can't sleep. You can ask Ghel. I was crying, twisting and turning on my bed due to frustration. Who wouldn't be frustrated? My brain was spent the whole day and still I couldn't sleep for the very little given time that I have for rest; add the scary thought that kept on bugging me "How can I answer the finals without any sleep?" -- if you were in my shoes, who wouldn't cry?? Carrying on for one day without getting any sleep is one ugly thing, but keeping your brains healthy without getting any sleep for more than 36 hours on exams week is almost suicidal. But I soldiered on. Thank God.

I tried to fix my problem during the break. I slept early for the whole sembreak, hoping that it'll fix my body clock just in time for the new semester. But what the hell, it's been two weeks already since the sem started and it's been two weeks, too, that I have not gotten a decent sleep! My mom scheduled an appointment with my doctor, but heavens, she happened to be in a convention. The doctor who attended to me couldn't give me anything but multivitamins. But my dermatologist keeps on telling me that multivitamins will keep my face on breaking out. So what now? :(

Please. I want to sleep. Please. Please. Just thinking about how hard it is for me to sleep makes me want to cry. All the massive headaches, chest pains, and weak limbs and balance that I feel whenever I couldn't sleep for the whole night is no laughing matter. :(

I hope you'll sleep well.

P.S. Sorry for the wrong grammars and incoherence. Wasn't able to proofread it. And I believe I used the word 'sleep' one too many times. Sowry. Hehe.
