Sleep is confessed to be a relaxing, refreshing, invigorating and profitable experience, particularly to teenagers and young adults attending post secondary education.
Typically, I would agree with that statement. Yet, if by chance last night had been my first time sleeping, I would be hesitant upon returning to that ambivalent state of unconsciousness in the near future.
The reason being -
While sleeping in my bottom bunk last night I had a disturbing dream in which a rather substantially sized spider descended towards my head from a hole above my bed. I screamed (which instantly woke me from my slumber) and without second thought to the situation I flicked on the light. I searched franticly through my covers for the dreaded spider who had rudely disturbed my almost perfect night.
The light had been on for barely 1 minute when my roommate called from above commanding me to turn the light off. I reluctantly obeyed her wish and for the remainder of the night I sensed hundreds if not thousands of small legs and bodies ceaselessly in motion across my exhausted body. The fear of waking to find large spider bites on my body lead to great restlessness to my already disturbed sleep.
- I pray my sleep is blessed with a peace this evening, for the sake of all those who must see or talk with me at anytime in the coming days-

I cannot believe the insensitivity of your roomate, whoever she may be. To think that she would have the audacity to make you turn off your light at sight a pivotal and frightening moment in your life. I personally am someone who shares in your fear of abnormally large insects crawling over one's body. I was also diagnosed with severe schizophrenia yesterday. Do you need to talk?
Yeah, i guess that was rather insensitive of my roomate, wasn't it. I never realised that before, it was definitly not my intention to make her sound heartless and inconsiderate . . . i guess the truth is sometimes easier to come to when you are an outsider looking in.
i may take up your offer on having to talk though.
I actually think that maybe your roomate needs a little more help than you do in order to make this relationship work right. It's called 'all consideration in moderation'. Would she maybe like the number for my Anger Management counsellor?
This reminds me of the time when you woke up with a hand on your shoulder! Except that it was your own hand, and it wasn't scary after we learned that, just funny... :P.
