History Class - Open to Students!

[Onzyy]

Graeme didn't notice that he was dozing off, before the teacher came to wake him up. Sorry Sir. A bed would be a good idea, but I have insomnia, so sleeping is a difficult thing. He could've gone on, but if he started then he would be able to describe his inability to sleep. In various words that weren't appropriate for the classroom.

Once again he felt the means to apologise, I'm sorry once again sir. It won't happen again. Graeme took to playing with his pen, before jotting down a few more key points.

Philip's frown turned from one of disgruntlement, to one of concern. He'd never had any problems with insomnia himself, being one of those lucky people who merely had to decide to fall asleep, and then they were off into dreamland (a trait that had made him very good at sleeping in difficult circumstances and bizarre places) but at university he'd had a friend that had battled with it, and so he'd seen the detrimental affect it could have on people. "That's understandable, then, if not desirable," he said, withdrawing his hand from Graeme's shoulder. "Insomnia's a nasty thing to have to deal with... Is there any medication you can take to help you get a better night's sleep?"

He asked partly from genuine concern, partly from a desire to not have students falling asleep in his class. That was never a particularly good thing, after all.
