Restlessness can possess you like a vice during the night. Every sound becomes amplified, every shadow takes on a threatening form. You toss and turn, your mind racing, desperate for some elusive comfort. Sleep, once a gentle refuge, has become a distant memory. The hours crawl by, each one an eternity of suffering.
You long to evade this prison of your own soul, to sink into the welcome embrace of slumber. Alas, sleep remains just out of reach, leaving you drained and exhausted as dawn arrives.
