Do You Suffer From Insomnia?

Here's a riddle for you: What is something that takes you by night, but day takes you back, none suffers from having me, but you do from lack?

If you haven't guessed by now, the answer is sleep.

Lately, have you became someone who doesn't get much time to sleep? Are you someone who has obtained so many responsibilities that they simply don't have time to sleep? When you do get the chance to relax in bed, do you find it hard to fall asleep, even if you're tired, or even staying asleep? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, then you might being experiencing insomnia.

Here are some warning signs:

1. Difficulty falling asleep.

This might seem familiar if you are the type of person who will get tired, lay in bed, but scroll on social for another 3.5 hours. (Sadly me.)

2. Difficulty staying asleep.

When you do actually fall asleep at a decent time, but wake up at 3am just staring at the ceiling. But who wants to stare at a boring ceiling when you have a nice phone next to you? Good morning.

3. Useless Sleep.


I know it's weird but, have you ever fell asleep and woke up feeling more tired than you were before you even fell asleep? Like what of kind sleep would torture a person like that for?

4. Fatigue haunts you.


Throughout the day, you feel laggy. You don't want to be bothered. But do you ever?

5. Moody behaviors.

You're becoming more irritable and aggressive, and now you're friends are looking at like "Woah, dude".

Nonetheless, if you've been suffering from any of these symptoms of insomnia, talk to someone about it. Also, avoid naps so you can have the most amount of sleep possible at night, and remain asleep. While trying to go to sleep, turn off all lights, tvs, and refrain from using your phone.

In short: just sleep, you won't regret it.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
