I really wanted to go on sleeping, as I had insomnia（失眠）and had just fallen asleep, but I couldn't because Sam groaned louder and louder，showing he was seriously ill.

　　At that time，Robbie，a student from China，also got up to help. We found some pills，got some water，and helped him sit up to take them, hoping this would make his pain go down a little and get over the difficult time. 59If daytime would come soon, everything would become easier.
