Dan angrily runs his hands through his greasy, curly hair and down his face as he sighs exhaustively. Glancing at the clock, he becomes aware that it reads 3:37 a.m., and he has to wake up and get ready for his classes on campus in less than three hours. As much as he dreams of crawling into his warm, comfortable bed and falling asleep, he knows he must complete every bit of his homework for tomorrow (well, more like today) before he is able to. However, for the past few nights, Dan has been unconsciously sleeping on his

After a long night of varsity football practice, his hour-long volunteer club meeting, and a three-hour shift at the local grocery store, combined with studying and doing assignments for his six Advanced Placement courses, he’s exhausted. But that’s the price
