NOTE: This post is a few days late.

My sister, Ara, has the uncanny ability to fall asleep in any position (once, she had her leg stretched out against the wall). In fact, she has the ability to fall asleep on the spot. Because of this, she usually falls asleep in the middle of studying. Sometimes, beside her laptop, rolling over her notebooks, her thick book as a pillow. Half of her bed is perpetually littered with school books, papers, school things and knick knacks. Therefore, she only has the top half of her bed to lie on. Again, which is not a problem for her, since she can fall asleep in any position. Nowadays, she sleeps with her head against the wall, her legs stretching out of her bed. Unlike you and me, who normally sleeps along the length of the bed, she sleeps perpendicularly to it. And so there are nights where I wake up and find myself staring at her blanketed feet, where I have to wake her up to lie properly so her feet wouldn't knock off the glass on top of the side table between our beds in the middle of the night for fear of water suddenly jousling me awake, where Iwake her up because her laptop just might fall off the bed. It is an accepted fact that you cannot make her sleep in the right position. Believe me, I've shared a room with her for so long, I know and I've stopped trying.

Imagine my surprise one night when I entered the room to find out that (1) she is sleeping in the right position, along the length of the bed; (2) her legs weren't sticking out; and (3) her laptop was nowhere in sight! Imagine my surprise again when the same thing happened the next night! Hallelujah!!! It's a bloody miracle, I tell yah! A bloody miracle!

But it was too good to be true. On the third day, she went back to her old routine.

Sigh.
