When I was younger, I thought that when people were sleeping at night, their heart stopped for a while to rest, and then in the morning, it started beating again, so we could open our eyes. One morning, when my mum told me i had to wake up to go to school and i should hurry up, I told her that I'm waiting for my heart to start beating.....
