Dear diary,

I can't sleep.
I have insomnia.
I have a hard time sleeping

My eyes were red and itchy. My nerves are shaking, and my heartbeat is unstable. My tears often run down my cheeks, but I am not crying. I'm just frustrated.

I am tired.
I am drained.
I want to rest.
I can't sleep.

I roll my body on my bed, tangled in sheets.
I can't sleep.
My mind is alive.
My breathing is heavy, my eyebrows are twitching, my hands are shaking.

I am suffering.

I heard the noise of the night.
Crickets scream so loudly outside.
Nothing peaceful.
My heart beats, and the clock is ticking all at once.

It is dark and cold, yet I am sweating.
My bed felt uncomfortable.
Pillows around me hug my body tightly.
My blanket covered my feet as they shivered.

I look at the window.

It's still dark, but fragments of the sun's powerful light are slowly illuminating the horizon.

It's dawn.

I still can't sleep.

The cricket's noise was silenced by the chicken's loud voice.
Alarms were ringing.
Voices in the kitchen.
The birds are singing a song of good morning.

It's morning.
The sun is greeting.
The breakfast is ready.
A busy day is waiting.

But I am still trying to sleep.
