I changed into a pair of pyjamas and climbed onto my bed. I removed a book from my backpack to go through whilst I waited for Mira, but my body was too tired to still be awake. I yawned uncontrollably. I kept stretching my body, looking for ways to not fall asleep just so I could be sure that Mira returned to the room safely. Before I knew it, I was sound asleep on my bed like a new pub. "You should turn off the lights when you want to sleep." I heard Luna say to me.
