May Never Sleep Again

I'm not going to say its because of horror movies alone but I can no longer sleep. I've watched them nonstop for the past six months. The first was A Nightmare on Elm Street (I didn't know this website existed or I would have picked one from The Beginner's List). That night I didn't sleep at all but then it started to get easier. Now I even have a 'Freddy' poster hanging above my bed.

I probably shouldn't have let my younger brother watch them. A couple of weeks ago I got Halloween and Friday the 13th and that night my brother kept telling me he was afraid of Pamela Voorhees, even having me check under his bed. So now I can no longer sleep due to the likelihood that my brother will keep me awake.
