Scarlett Yates took another deep breath, trying to calm her heartbeat: "It's true, just a nightmare, I was scared awake."
"Oh, since there's nothing wrong, I'll go back to sleep. If you need anything, just call me, I can hear you." Angela's voice was a bit groggy, still drowsy.
"Okay, go back to sleep."
After saying goodbye to Angela, Scarlett broke out in a cold sweat, feeling dry and uncomfortable, so she got up and gulped down a large glass of water, then took a shower.
When she came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed, she felt much better.
She checked the time, it was only half past three in the morning.
But she couldn't fall asleep.
She lost all sleepiness after being frightened awake by that nightmare.
She rubbed her slightly aching temples, casually picked a novel from the bookshelf, and lay down on the bed to read for a while.
Reading is definitely a good way to induce sleep.
