Insomnia is a phenomenon where, despite being tired from daily work, a person loses the ability to sleep and tosses and turns on their bed all night. Insomnia has many causes: invading memories, stress, longing, and things of that sort. However, it’s not as bad as people make it out to be. Insomnia is a key to thinking. Up to the point where your brain locks up and you hope that maybe this lock will eventually turn it off, but of course, it never does.

When a person becomes sleepless, time and place lose even their relative meaning, leaving only themselves, a locked brain, wide-open eyes, 5 a.m., and three hours later when they have to get up and go to work, enduring burning eyes and endless headaches until the next night when insomnia again denies them sleep.

Don't worry. Will, you can sleep when you're dead.

Sometimes insomnia is the result of a particular kind of human emotion that cannot be described: longing for the longing of years past that will never return. Meaning you were longing for other days a few years ago, and today you long for the longing of other days as well. Longing for the longing.
