    It's time to tell your parents and go to the family doctor for evaluation.

    They won't bring me. My mom is a ***** and my dad lives 3 hours away from me. I have no other family to bring me to my doctor. Kind of sucks :/

    Because she doesn't care about me. I live in that kind of home. Sucks. So I am exhuasted when I go to school and my friends think I'm just being all depresso and won't listen when I tell them I'm tired.
    Is there another reason I could be having these sleepless nights?

    Are you overweight? Do you usually sleep on your back?

    Is there a school nurse?

    No, No, and no. Plus I have no medical conditions. So I don't know.

    Do you go to a public or private school?

    This could be some kind of sleep apnea. Or a form of night terrors. Do you have bad dreams sometimes?

    How long ago did this start? Do you have any other symptoms like thirst or a headache?

    Public school.
    I don't normally have dreams now, seeing as I can't sleep. No time for dreams.
    I never really had night terrors, I think I did once when I was really little.
    Umm, maybe 2 weeks now.
    I thought I wasn't eating properally so now I rarely eat.. by doing so I felt kind of the same, but my headaches went away once I started eating one meal a day.

    If there's no school nurse, talk about this sleep problem to a teacher you like and trust.
