      Tips

      • If someone doesn't believe you slept, reassure them by saying you didn't have a great sleep - tossing and turning all night, uncomfortable mattress, etc.
      • Don't do this a lot, depending on the parents, they might ban TV until the sleep problem has resolved, or they might think you need to be taken to a doctor to diagnose the cause of sleepiness, or they might ask you to talk about your problems(you might do this because of stress.)
      • It's also sometimes good to ask what time it is, especially if there aren't any clocks around.
