Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.

Which of the following is the best summary of paragraph 2? Gregor tries to go back to sleep, but the weather keeps him up. Gregor wants to forget his trouble, but his body will not allow him.
