Counting sheep

When I was a child, I had a lot of problems with the term “sleep”. I spent many nights trying to fall asleep and couldn’t, and that made me really annoyed because I really wanted to fall asleep but all my effort was in vain. However, the longest period I suffered from insomnia was, at least, an hour or two, but it was actually tough.. Anyway, the worst sleepless night I had was when I bought a new bed. The first night I slept there, it took me five hours to fall asleep. It was horrible, because I was exhausted but I couldn’t, perhaps it was the fact that I wasn't used to my new bed yet. However, this anecdote wasn´t the worst.  The story I remember as the “scariest night” gave me nightmares for several nights. It happened many years ago, but I still remember it as if it had been yesterday. That day, my friends had told me a ghost story, so I had lied down more scared than sleepy. Again, I had insomnia, but this time I was covered with my blanket and my pillow, trying not to see the scaring shadows. Then, I heard a noise and, slowly, I leant out my head and saw a figure that shocked me. It looked like the monster I had  heard about in the story and I was so terrified that my heart almost got out of my chest. I had several bad nights, but this one is the worst insomnia night I have ever had.
