Things that Keep You from Sleeping

 

1. Babies. When the baby is awake, the entire house is awake.

2. Excitement for tomorrow. When something big is happening the next day, it makes sleep hard to find.

3. Traffic. Whether it be a midnight train or just the typical night traffic of a city, sometimes people who need to get somewhere else are just too loud.

4. You brain. If there is a time to shut down the mind's rambling, it ia bedtime.

5. Cats. Why should you sleep, when you could be guving them attention?

6. A really good book. Saying "just one more chapter" is the road that leads to a sleepless dawn.

7. Being hungry. It can be hard focus on sleeping when your stomach growls.

8. Being sick. Sometimes, all you can do is sleep. Other times, sleep is the one thing you can't find.

9. Nightmares. When going to sleep leads to being jolted awake from an awful dream, keeping yourself awake becomes fairly important.

10. You've gone past the point of tired into that exhausted fatigue that never really goes away.
