Most children sleep easy, dreaming of faraway lands with candy mountains and gregarious unicorns. But there are others. Others who lie in bed trying desperately to ignore their increasing fatigue. They lie awake staring at cracks in the ceiling, listening to the incessant ticking of the clock, wishing for tomorrow. And as night slowly creeps towards dawn, these unfortunate children are overtaken by sleep. They drift deep into dark worlds they can’t escape, swallowed by their nightmares. They wake up sweating and screaming, gasping for daylight. ”
