Insomnia

It was probably a few weeks ago. I was pretty sure that I was starting to develop a sleeping disorder. But, I am okay now. I have no idea what could have caused it. People say that lack of sleep can be caused by stress related to work. But, I do not have a job. Well, not really. My parents say that my job is being a student at school, and my duties are to complete my work on time and to obtain good grades. I guess that I can be suffering from stress, wait, no... I believe that I am suffering form stress. My mom asked me this question a while ago. She got an e-mail and started reading it. Then she turned to me and asked, "Jacob, are you stressed-out?" I looked a way from my homework for a moment to respond, "Yea. I think so." To my amazement she seemed a bit startled and told me, "But you don't even do sports." I am not going to lie, I wanted to yell at her how I never get a break. I want to take one, but my dad drags me to these strange events just to meet these two faced politicians that I feel completely uncomfortable around. I also felt the need to add that some of these classes are killing me. Pre-cal gives out a crazy amount of homework every night. But, as usual, I just remained silent and returned to my work.

That was possibly the only instant where I had admitted that I was suffering form stress. Soon after, it was not that difficult making the connection between that and the fact that I was staying up until one or two in the morning struggling to go to sleep. I would go to bed at around ten or eleven and end up tossing and turning for hours. Then in the end, my parents would just tell me to take some Benadryl. I do have some symptoms of a cold, but I think that I am perfectly fine without the use of it. I think that I even became reliant on Benadryl in order to fall asleep for a few days in a row. But now, I am capable of going to sleep without using any. But if another random occurrence of lack of sleep were to happen, please leave suggestions in the comment area.
