communication of any kind, they immediately arrest the fireman. How do they know they've got their man?

Dear abby,
I fell asleep in class today – once again! When I go to bed at night, I just can’t seem to fall asleep. I lie in bed for hours
and it doesn’t seem to make a difference. When I wake up in the morning, I feel like I don’t want to get up and go to
school. This is the time that I could really sleep. I wish that school didn’t start until 10:00 a.m. Please help me out! Give
me some ideas on how I could get a better sleep, so Mr. Gomez doesn’t get upset that I fall asleep in his class.
Tired at School.
