You might.

Do You Suffer From Insomnia?

Here's a riddle for you: What is something that takes you by night, but day takes you back, none suffers from having me, but you do from lack?

If you haven't guessed by now, the answer is sleep.

Lately, have you became someone who doesn't get much time to sleep? Are you someone who has obtained so many responsibilities that they simply don't have time to sleep? When you do get the chance to relax in bed, do you find it hard to fall asleep, even if you're tired, or even staying asleep? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, then you might being experiencing insomnia.

Here are some warning signs:

1. Difficulty falling asleep.

This might seem familiar if you are the type of person who will get tired, lay in bed, but scroll on social for another 3.5 hours. (Sadly me.)

2. Difficulty staying asleep.

When you do actually fall asleep at a decent time, but wake up at 3am just staring at the ceiling. But who wants to stare at a boring ceiling when you have a nice phone next to you? Good morning.

3. Useless Sleep.


I know it's weird but, have you ever fell asleep and woke up feeling more tired than you were before you even fell asleep? Like what of kind sleep would torture a person like that for?

4. Fatigue haunts you.


Throughout the day, you feel laggy. You don't want to be bothered. But do you ever?

5. Moody behaviors.

You're becoming more irritable and aggressive, and now you're friends are looking at like "Woah, dude".

Nonetheless, if you've been suffering from any of these symptoms of insomnia, talk to someone about it. Also, avoid naps so you can have the most amount of sleep possible at night, and remain asleep. While trying to go to sleep, turn off all lights, tvs, and refrain from using your phone.

In short: just sleep, you won't regret it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
