I have one serious problem: I can sleep anytime and anywhere. It always felt like I had no power to keep my eyes open and felt as if someone cast me to a deep sleep at all times.

Sleeping is a crucial part of being human since without sleeping you could not function. As for me, sleeping doesn’t keep me functioning. I mean, I sleep more than I function. Here is what being a sleepy girl feels like:

1. I cannot stay awake when I am watching a movie.

My eyes are closed as soon as the movie starts. My little cousin even had to beg me not to fall asleep again since he told me that he wanted actually to see this one film with me.

I must say, the theater is too comfortable for me not to fall asleep. It is one of the many places I love to fall asleep. The temperature is cold, and the room is dark. What can top that?

2. I'm not able to stay awake late into the night.

I love my friends. Let’s start with that. Being as young as we are, we like to stay up all night doing nothing but chatter about our lives. Yeah, I can’t do that. Like Cinderella, not that I leave as soon as the bell rings, but I would pass out at my bedtime.

3. Coffee doesn’t work for me.

Not that I would not stay awake with coffee, but coffee gives me a stomachache. I had ulcers since I was young that makes me not be able to drink coffee. However, I also heard many people said that even coffee would not help them to stay awake.

4. I don't like to go to a party.

I’d 1,000 times rather to cocoon myself in my soft silky bed rather than going to a party where it is packed like sardines. I would love to go to a party once in a while, but the fact that going to party ruins my sleep pattern, I had to think twice about going to a party.

5. I can count how many hours of sleep I got.

Minimum of eight hours of sleep or else I will be cranky for the whole day, no exceptions. Not having beauty sleep at night makes me eat a little more and seems to make me feel sadder. You know it is not a great combination. I could also wake up looking like a zombie for having a little sleep.

I sometimes think that I have a superpower. I mean, I can sleep from 6 to 9 and then eat and sleep again for the rest of the day. Maybe it is a superpower. Do you know how many people have trouble sleeping? Many. And yes, I am grateful being the sleepy girl I am.
