Am I Keeping You Awake?
Kira Paley ('15)
November 27, 2014
“A whoaie, Miss Paley, am I putting you to sleep?” I jerked awake as Mr. Deaett’s voice boomed above my head. I had fallen asleep in the middle of class, yet again. It has happened to me at least twice just today. Getting out of bed in the morning is nearly impossible; sometimes when I get home from school, I take naps before starting my homework. And I’m not the only one; 34 high school seniors were surveyed, and 22 admitted to having fallen asleep in class at least once in the past year. Why are we all perpetually exhausted?
