Top Ten Things That Keep People Up In the Middle of the Night
-
Heat
My room is the only bedroom in my house without air conditioning. It's horrible during the summer. It gets very hot, and I really don't like it.
That's one of the reasons I'm not fond of summer.
If your bed is too hot, you can't sleep, but if your bed is too cold, you also can't sleep because of the blocked nose from it.
This usually happens to me. I usually don't want to get out of bed in the middle of the night, but sometimes I have to.

Noises
My neighbors are huge fans of hammering the walls at night! To make it even harder to sleep, my sister watches stupid YouTube videos in the middle of the night, at full volume!
My grandma huffs and puffs in the room between mine and my sister's rooms, so sleeping through the night successfully is pretty rare.
Once, when I went to a college camp and stayed in the dorm, I stayed awake all night because the bed would squeak every time I moved.
I'm one of those guys who moves around a lot while sleeping. It wasn't just me. I think that everyone had that problem.
-
Light
Yes, I can't sleep with light. My family doesn't have the same problem, though, so when they walk through the house, they generally leave all the lights on.
Normally, I have to get up and leave my warm bed to turn the light off. Otherwise, the light goes under my door.
Oh gosh! I hate this! My younger sisters and I share a room, and my youngest sister, who is 5 years old, likes to use the lantern and blare the light like torture, burning my sisters' and my eyes out.
Well, the light I'm talking about is the light from either the alarm clock or the hallway light.
-
Animals
My cats are always screaming their heads off to go outside. Even though I close my door at night, I can still hear it, and it's extremely annoying.
The dogs will wake you up. And some humans at night bark like dogs riding their two-wheelers.
I wonder who exactly the dog is...
They will steal all of my blanket, will snore, and always need to go out in the middle of the night.

Nightmares
-
Insomnia
Blame my phone, blame homework, but in the end, it's insomnia that's keeping me awake. I can spend hours with my eyes shut and still, exhausted with melatonin taken, I still won't be able to sleep.
Non-insomniacs really must not know what that feels like because they're hardly empathetic.
With your brain pushing to keep you awake, your life becomes cumulatively stressful.
-
Homework
Especially if it is due tomorrow and you haven't done it yet.
-
Video Games
They can be very addicting, and you can't get your eyes off them.
-
Crazy imagination
Oh yes, my imagination...About so many things that just get stuck in my mind and won't go...
It's like a fact that the more you try to calm your mind, the more the thoughts emerge.

Things Falling
It gets annoying, and you have to pick it up in the middle of the night, and it will fall again and again.

Ghosts
Ghosts are not real. But even if they were, just call Ghostbusters, because Egon can be really sexy sometimes!
-
Porn
This is horrible and disgusting to think about. I don't know what's wrong with people nowadays.
-
Technology
Sometimes I open my dad's phone or keep my laptop on just to continue with my business. It's all in the night.
Haha, that's true. I love to watch movies at night or listen to music.

Bodily Functions
