A variety of things can cause me to lose sleep. Something that tends to be trivial in hindsight like a school exam to something serious like a family member being ill and worrying what could happen. There are many things that can keep me up at night. How about you? What keeps you up at night?

At times, some kind of addiction to something like manga or just a really exciting thread on facebook keeps me awake at night. Or there are also those weird sleepless nights wherein I just can't seem to empty my mind no matter what I do, like, I ponder a topic one after another, and then I notice the nonstop thinking, try to stop it, but fails. I fall asleep after my mind gets tired, I guess. But those nights are rare.

Hi,
There will be alot of things that can make
me awake for whole night.
During my school time, that will be nextday examination, I will
stay up bit late to do my revision for nextday exam,of course, it
will depend on what time is my nextday examination. If the
exam is in the morning, I will have an early sleep to get myself
fresh for tomorrow examination.That was my past...study and exam is OVER.
In my life now, when my son falls sick,then I can't sleep
for whole night. I will be very worry on his condition and will
keep wakeup in the middle of the night to see his condition.
Or when I have some personal problem/family problem, I won't be
able to sleep well at night.My brain will keep running and my eyes
just can't close.
Good night!!

I will stay up at night if I go to a party, if I don't want to sleep or if I have physical pain or I just want to watch TV. Otherwise, I usually can sleep, no matter how concerned or how stressed I am. And in most cases I sleep very well, even if there are times when I wake up more tired than I was before going to sleep.

My work keeps me up at night caused I have graveyard shifts at work so can't sleep then. Aside from that nothing usually keeps me at night.I just intentionally keep myself up at night cause I know that I don't have t wake up early the next day. Sleeping is not a problem for me well maybe since I'm still young but my mom is having difficulty in sleeping, hope I don't have that when I reach her age.So her remedy is maybe a glass of milk.

school!!!!!!
i pulled an all-nighter last tuesday because the next day i had a report and an exam~!
but both of them went out well. i thank God for that.
i almost couldn't believe it but i only got one mistake in the exam, and our report was superb with class interaction and all.
tonight i'll be up late again. i need to finish a book for an oral exam next week. i have decided that i will no longer procrastinate... i hope i can keep that rule.
