Restlessness can ensnare you like a vice during the night. Every noise becomes amplified, every shadow takes on a threatening form. You toss and turn, your concerns multiplying, desperate for some elusive comfort. Sleep, once a gentle haven, has become a distant dream. The hours crawl by, each one an eternity here of torment.
You long to evade this prison of your own body, to fall into the welcome embrace of slumber. But, sleep remains just out of reach, leaving you drained and exhausted as dawn appears.
