【文章大意】失眠
那天晚上我就是睡不着。我只是不觉得困。我不知道为什么，但这真的很烦人。
我躺在床上很无聊，所以我决定读一本书。我以为读书能帮助我入睡。但即使我读完了。我仍然不觉得累。所以我听了一些平静的音乐。这也没起作用。我听人说，如果你在睡前喝一杯热饮，它会帮助你慢慢入睡。于是下楼给自己泡了杯茶。喝完茶，我回到床上。但我还是睡不着。我对这一点感到非常沮丧！
别人都睡着了，我却醒着，感觉很奇怪。世界似乎如此安静。事实上，这有点吓人。当你入睡时，感觉一天结束了，新的一天开始了。但如果你熬夜，你就会意识到白天和黑夜只是一个温和的过渡，一个没有结束也没有开始的循环。凌晨4点。我注意到有微弱的光从窗帘里透进来。太阳已经开始升起了！
通常，我睡得很沉，我从来没有在早上这个时候醒过。所以在这个场合，我觉得自己很幸运能看到美丽的日出。当太阳从东方升起时，鸟儿开始唱它们的晨歌。我知道我需要休息，但似乎我越努力强迫自己入睡，就越难以入睡。
最终，我让我的思想自由了。我不再强迫自己睡觉。我听着鸟鸣……然后我就知道已经是上午11点了!我很高兴我总算睡了一会儿！我以前从来没有失眠过，所以这是我第一次失眠。幸运的是，从那以后我一直睡得很好。
