Why is mimis so important in your life? You may be thinking that you don't need to sleep but in reality you do especially the day of a game or practice or to go to school in general. To be honest I don't get much sleep but I know someone who sleeps pretty often and her name is Emily and she sits next to me during third period. She has been telling me that she has not been sleeping her full eight hours and she looks tired so she is going to be sleeping while I play basketball later.
