Restlessness can possess you like a vice during the night. Every noise becomes amplified, every shadow takes on a threatening form. You toss and turn, your thoughts swirling, desperate for some elusive comfort. Sleep, once a gentle sanctuary, has become a distant dream. The hours crawl by, each one an eternity of torment.
You long to escape this prison of your own soul, to sink into the welcome embrace of slumber. Yet, sleep remains just out of reach, leaving you drained and exhausted as dawn breaks.
Untangling the Threads of Sleeplessness
Sleepless nights can drift in like shadows, snatching our energy and concentration. The constant droning of worry and anxiety tends to keep us trapped inside a restless cycle. But there are ways to break this pattern and reclaim our nights.
