You might.

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
