Which one makes more sense.
I have 2 versions of a sentence but I'm not sure which one to use.
1. 'The anticipation of returning to the classroom had gotten the better of me, which resulted in a terrible sleep.'
2. 'The anticipation of returning to the classroom had gotten the better of me, resulting in a terrible sleep.
Which would you say was better?
Thanks
Ryan

Using which to refer to an entire clause is careless English, if you ask me. Use #2. Also, a terrible sleep sounds strange to me.
resulting in terrible sleep
resulting in a terrible night's sleep
resulting in a terrible night of sleep
resulting in terrible sleep
resulting in a terrible night's sleep
resulting in a terrible night of sleep
