Sometimes it is hard to fall asleep. I'd think about things that might happen within the few hours that I am asleep. They could be taking place right outside my house or on the other side of the world, which would be the same because either way I'd be completely unaware. This thought scares me because there are a lot of things I'd like to witness.

I don't want to miss the total lunar eclipse.

I don't want to miss the first flower blossoming on that tree across the road.
