Lately I keep falling asleep in short, unfinished chapters. Five minutes here, ten minutes there, like my body is hitting the snooze button on life while my brain refuses to power down completely. It’s not real sleep, just these brief disappearances where I wake up more tired than before, confused about what day it is and slightly betrayed by my own nervous system.
I think it’s what happens when you’ve been running on adrenaline for too long. My body is begging for rest while my mind keeps watch, convinced something will go wrong the moment I fully let go. So we compromise. I drift off. I wake up. Repeat. It feels very on brand for someone who overthinks everything, even sleep.
