Overbooked, Overtired
Sheila yawned during her ninth-grade homeroom class. Mark playfully smacked her arm, saying, "Wake up, Sleepyhead!"
The teacher called out names on her roll. "Sheila."
"Here," Sheila said with a yawn.
After homeroom ended, Sheila slowly gathered up her books and backpack and stumbled out of class.
"What is wrong with you today?" Mark said.
"I am so tired," Sheila admitted.
"What time did you go to bed?" Mark asked.
"I went to bed around midnight, the same time I usually do."
Mark rolled his eyes. "And what time did you get up?"
"I got up about six o'clock, as usual."
Mark sighed. He had known Sheila a long time and knew she was a driven person. He also knew that only six hours of sleep a night was not enough. He sometimes wondered how Sheila kept up the pace she did. She got all As, had a job after school, volunteered at her church every Sunday, and babysat on Friday nights.
