Actually, thank you for giving me the questions because I have a lot of stories about times I tried to stay awake even when I was sleepy. Here, I would like to talk about the last story with my sister, I think it was about a month ago. I remember my sister was ill, and after that, she went to sleep. But suddenly, I heard a loud sound, and I ran quickly to her room. I found her lying on the floor, and there was blood on the floor. I was very afraid in that situation. After that, we went to the hospital; I think it was exactly 3 p.m., which is usually a time for sleep. I was trying to stay awake to talk with her doctors and also to monitor her. I think I drank five cups of coffee. There was a small machine near her room in the hospital, and every hour, I went to that machine to get a new cup of coffee.
