Such a beautiful piece of writing. Made me reflect on all the sleepless London nights where I go through my countless embarrassing moments until they all blend into this anxiety blur that eventually miraculously sends me to sleep 😴
I often find that we live in a world that is poor in interruption, and sometimes nights when the world silences and you are alone with yourself, access to that in-betweenness truly grants the mental rest you desperately need. I would also recommend the book 'The Burnout Society' by philosopher Byung-Chul Han (very short read), there's this quote that this piece reminded me of...
"If sleep represents the high point of bodily relaxation, deep boredom is the peak of mental relaxation. A purely hectic rush produces nothing new. It reproduces and accelerates what is already available"
