Lack of sleep

 A problem that many young people present nowadays is the lack of sleep caused by staying late to study or procastinating on the internet.

I had this problem myself and when it happens, sometimes, it's not really a problem, but when it happens over and over again it becomes an issue. It changes your internal schedule and you can't go back to have a normal night of sleep because you just can't fall asleep, even if you try. I took advantage of this by doing the things I had to do, like homework, essays. Then I realised that I couldn't go on living that way, it affects your mood and your relationships with those who are around you.

When you want to put a stop to this sleep disturbance you have to take into account that it's going to cost a lot of headaches, will power and a lot of your time. Our body it's like a machine that works with routine and when it gets used to living by night and sleeping through the day, it might take over six months to go back to have a normal routine.

Although I tried to put a stop to my problem, and I did all the imaginable things — taking teas, staying a whole day awake, taking pills. Nothing seemed to work, I always ended up so tired that I took little naps and by night, I was wide awake and the whole process of lack of sleep began again.

In the end, the only thing that worked was will power and knowing that, even though you want to sleep at the moment, and you are going to have bad days it's all worth it.
