It was a Friday night, and Raj was feeling completely wiped out after a long week at work. He planned on heading home and going to sleep early but his friends had different plans. "Come on, Raj! We’re going to crash at Kareem's place tonight!". Raj didn’t want to at first because he knew they would be up late, but he figured he could catch up on sleep later. When they arrived at Kareem’s, he was wide awake. Since he was a night owl, he was in his element, ready to be up late. The others were equally excited, but Raj couldn’t help but feel drained.Let’s play some video games!" Kareem shouted, already grabbing a controller. Raj tried to keep up, but he started to nod off halfway through the first round. He wasn’t the only one. Liam, who was always an early bird, had already dozed off on the couch, completely out like a light. Looks like Liam’s getting his beauty sleep," Kareem joked. Raj shook his head, trying to stay awake. "No way, I’m good!" he lied, but he was clearly struggling to stay awake. He knew he needed a power nap to regain his energy, so he snuck into Kareem’s room and laid down. He was out cold within minutes. An hour later, Raj woke up feeling a little better. He checked the time and realized it was already 2 AM. "Guess I better hit the sack," he thought. But as he was about to, Kareem burst into the room. "Come on, man! You’ve got to help us win this next round!" Raj groaned but got up, realizing he couldn’t let his friends down. Surprisingly, he felt more energized after that nap, almost like he got a second wind. He rejoined the group, and they played until they were all too tired to continue Eventually, everyone decided to call it a night. They found spots to sleep all over the house. Raj was so exhausted that he slept like a baby, not tossing and turning like some others. By the time morning came, he was the last to wake up, with Kareem cheerfully shouting, "Rise and shine!" Raj stretched and smiled. Despite feeling beat, he was glad he had stayed for the sleepover. But then he realized he had gotten up on the wrong side of the bed and didn’t want to talk to anyone. As they cleaned up, Kareem grinned and said, “Same time next week? I’d love for you guys to sleep over again" Raj laughed. "Sure, but next time, I’m getting more shut-eye before I come! I was dead to the world last night. Also, let's make sure we don’t have any surprises—I’m too tired to sleep with one eye open!" Kareem laughed, "No worries, next time, you can sleep in as long as you want."
