The worst part of never sleeping is the near constant, bone-deep exhaustion that drags my body down into my pillows with soft promises of a bliss that never comes. Even when I do sleep the 4 hours my mind can manage my dreams or lack there of keep me awake for weeks after.Ā
The nightmares are all consuming and even though I know they're not real I never forget them, even the ones I don't remember come morning.Ā
Ā That sounds impossible but there's just something, some deep subconscious part that remembers the feelings they bring. Not emotions, the physical feeling of doing something simple, like reaching out for a cup on the table, and knowing something happened to me once upon a nightmare.
Ā It not easy to 'logic' those thoughts away.Ā So all I can do is push through the day and wait for night to come again so I might replace that crippling terror of the mundane, the closet in the hall or noise outside with no visible cause, with a much better and simpler fear of clowns or spiders.Ā Ā
Maybe it'll be better tomorrow.Ā
