I had several types of occasions like that which I had to stay awake. I remember vividly at that time and one day I had to stay awake to watch football. One day my favorite team Real Madrid had a final match against Manchester City. At that time I had to stay awake and watch football to support my team. After a while the match began and the pace was evident quickly. Manchester City conceded two goals in the blink of an eye and my initial excitement began to fade and replace it by despair and sleeplessness. I didn’t give up and I drank a cup of coffee and engaged some activities. The original match started and some minutes later my favorite team scored two goals against Manchester City. The final whistle blew and Real Madrid players raised a cup over their heads. I was extremely relieved and I couldn’t sleep until the morning.
