How could I wake up tired and drained when I went to bed early at 10PM? I’ve noticed lately that I’ve been waking up tired after dreaming about running around or running away from some menacing figure chasing me.

I was in a lab with this butt ugly man in a brown suit. Stringy and skanky thinning hair, huge beaky nose, prominent chin. Tall and bulky with round hunched shoulders. Butt ugly. Something went wrong in the lab which caused this guy to grow some green tentacles all over his body. (Think Urotsukidoji.) He dropped a few green feces from two of his tentacles in a flower pot. He then turned his head in my direction with a wicked gleam in his eye. I quickly bolted out of the lab and ran down the corridors of the school. The tentacles shot out from the door after me. I ducked as the vile appendages flew over my head and slid into the stairway. I tumbled and rolled down the stairs, got up and continued running on the third floor. The hideous monster reappeared at the end of the hallway and is gaining on my tail fast. I spotted my friend, Ali, on the floor and grabbed his collar before he could say hello. We ran up and down, over and around the campus with this tentacled hellhound pursuing us. We finally shook off the misshapened fiend a couple of flights down. My poor friend was getting tired from all that running. We looked for a place to rest and found a small balcony on the top floor. I gently dragged and nudged my exhausted friend up the stairs, eventually reaching the balcony after what seemed like an eon. The dusky sky looked rather serene from the balcony. We sat down and drifted off to sleep in the cool quiet night air.

Then I woke up. I knew I shouldn’t have eaten the whole bag of Veggie Booty before bed.
