"One night, as I lay awake reading creepypastas, my power went out, which gave me the initiative to go to sleep. I read creepypastas all of the time, so I am never bothered by it ,but, for some reason, I can not sleep to this day. I know it is not because of the stories, but I felt scared and could not sleep. I sat up all night up until the sun came up. The power came back on later in the morning, so I went to the kitchen and made myself some eggs. The remainder of the day was filled with thought. I could not figure out why I couldn't sleep the night before. That night, instead of reading, I went straight to bed. Again, I could not sleep. I just laid there, staring at the walls and the ceiling. Not knowing what to do to remedy my paranoia, I looked on google to see if I could find help sleeping. Unfortunately, right when I was about to click a link, the power went out again. I was worried but I sat within the darkness, not able to sleep but also not willing to move. This went on for about three more days."

Here's an example of an edited version of your first paragraph. I would do the rest, but I'm a bit tired from work. However, I hope I helped :)
