Mata Terpejam Tapi Tidak Bisa Tidur Novels & Stories

She ch⁠anged‍ into pajam⁠as⁠ and t‌ried to sleep bu‍t her mind would⁠ not qui‍et, replaying‌ m‍oment⁠s f‌rom the day on an endless loop. The city noi‌se f‌iltered through her window, sirens and ca‍r horns and the‍ constant hum of a‍ place tha‍t never fully⁠ rested. Ma⁠ya st‍a‌red at the ceiling and thought about Adrian on the other side of the adjoining d‌oor, probably not sleeping either. An hour pa‌ssed, th‍en two‍, ex‌ha‌ustion pulling⁠ at‌ he⁠r but sleep staying stubbornly out of reac⁠h.

No one ever really gets used to nightmares. Napatingin ako sa orasan. It's still two am in the morning. Humiga ulit ako at pinikit na ang mga mata at pinilit uling matulog.

We all still enjoyed the moment till we reached home and our practice starts tomorrow as usual. Even after a tiring day on the trip, I was restless and I couldn't sleep. It was like I couldn't sleep and couldn't concentrate on anything. "Are you asleep, baby?" My mom came in knocking on the door. "No, mom." I yawned closing my mouth.

It was not yet nine pm, but that was supposed to be the latest. “Okay, I will sleep now. Happy fighting with your lack of sleep,” Martin replied and made to go out of the tent. “Wait,” I called out. He stopped and turned. “Yes, Shawn,” I rolled my eyes over the wide smile spread across his face. He was young and looked young, but he was cunny and knowledgeable like a sly old fox. “I feel drawn to someone or something, but I don't know what it is. When I try to close my eyes, nothing happens,” I complained.

She fell asleep, not long after and I was left with my thoughts. I settled down on the bed to rest my aching joints but not long after, I heard a buzzing sound and I lazily swatted at my ear. Pesky mosquitoes won't let one be, even with the air-conditioning on. I settled into a more comfortable position but just as I was dozing off, I heard someone groaning. I jerked awake with a start and I realised I had drifted off to sleep. Someone was shaking me but I couldn't see who because the room was swarthed in darkness. I switched on the bedside lamp and the soft glow illuminated the room, leaving certain parts in shadow.

I said to myself. My head was heavy and I began to feel dizzy. I lay on the bed and shut my eyes. I rolled on the bed numerous times, trying to get myself to sleep but all I tried was to no avail. Matteo’s voice kept ringing in my head. It was as if he were speaking in my head. All that I had seen in the archives and files was visible in my head. I couldn’t fall asleep. I stood up from the bed even more restless and I began to walk through and fro in the room.

Not yet. The image of how Mark fell off the window keeps on replaying in my mind torturously the harder I try to push it away so I shut my eyes tight to get rid of it but that too doesn't seem to be working. I don't budge though as I still keep my eyes shut and soon, I begin to feel sleepy so I let the sleep take me away, hoping that it would help in keeping off the heavy thoughts in my mind since being awake isn't helping. *************

She started thinking about her dream and couldn't understand why she didn't help Ronin in her dream, even though he had saved her from drowning. But Sia didn't pay much attention to the dream because it was just a simple dream that didn't hold any significance for her. Sia's sleep had been completely disrupted, and now she couldn't sleep at all. She tried hard to fall asleep but couldn't. The inability to sleep was causing her a lot of distress. It felt as if she wanted to sleep, but something was preventing her from doing so. Struggling to fight for her sleep, Sia had reached four in the morning, and the faint light of dawn started creeping into her room. It was the first time Sia had spent

I didn’t sleep. I couldn’t. ** ~ The Next Day ~

~~Niccolo Amoretti~~ Sleeping just isn't something I can do. Expecting me to rest well, knowing the object of my desire is just one floor below me, is ludicrous. I tried. I did the normal thing. I lay in my bed, closed my eyes, and tried to lure myself into the land of sleep. I even tried counting sheep, then I realized there was no need for this level of pretence. I want something, so why can't I go and get it? Why do I have to wait?
