Not getting my sleep would only have negative consequences for me.

Loss of focus, muscle weakness, major insanity.

I am sleep deprived.

Why so?

“I have a ton of school work to complete- sometimes.”

“I have really busy days- sometimes”

“I will stall and most of the time it's my fault that I’m sleep deprived- 100 percent”.

I have total assurance that most of my sleep problems are my fault.

It’s so bad my parents, friends, and caffeine need to step in to help.

Why is it me exactly?

I feel the need to have a break every five minutes when doing work.

Excuses would pile up to stall time.

“I worked way too hard today; a break is what I need.”

“I need to see what my friends are texting at the moment”.

“I should check the food cabinet to see if anything has changed.”

It won’t stop anytime soon.

How do I solve this problem?

I portray my progress as constructing a building. 

Assembling pieces together piece by piece. However, what I use to make this building is made with red solo cups.

They’re flimsy, lightweight, and made of plastic.

A gust of wind could easily blow it down.

Those gusts of wind will be my excuses.

The building would fall and crash.

Just for me to start over again.
