Trouble Sleeping... - 不会睡觉-

At 10.30om comes the order: 'BED!' You toss and turn under the sheets, anxious about how many hours of sleep you have left before the little dictator of an alarm starts blaring. Your thoughts about day, you friends and you school work whirl round in your head. All that is visible in the darkness are those red digits, proclaiming the slow march of time ... 11:00 ... 11:30 .... 12:00 .... and still you lie the wide-eyed.

Before all you adults start rolling your eyes, there is actually strong scientific evidence to prove that teenagers have very different sleep needs to adults. I've read somewhere that when we reach puberty, we experience what is commonly known as 'body clock'. This means that it takes us longer to become sleepy and ready for bed.

It seems we teenagers are cursed with a biological imperative to stay up to odd hours chatting online (like i usually do) or slouching in front of the TV(this one too), and then roll out of bed past noon. It's not rebellion, it's not even choice! IT'S BIOLOGY!!
