Sleepless 


Death was a friend, and sleep was Death's brother.
Man is a genius when he is dreaming while we are all fast asleep. 
Everytime you wake up, you appear again out of nowhere. And so does everything else. Death just means the replacement of the usual morning waking with something else, something quite impossible even to think about. We don't even have the instrument to do it, because our mind & our world are the same thing.
Anything seems possible at night when the rest of the world has gone to sleep.
Sleep is no longer a healing bath, a recuperation of vital forces, but an oblivion, a nightly brush with annihilation.
I think insomnia is a sign that a person is interesting.
They say, I am starting to doze off,  as if it was nothing. But it is really a bizarre activity. For the next several fulfilling hours, while the sun is out, we are in a trance and slowly starting  to feel unconscious, temporarily losing command over everything we know and everything we understand but then when the sun returns, we will resume our life.
We've crossed some kind of invisible line. We felt as if we've come to a place we never thought we'd have to come to. And we don't know how we got there. It's a strange place. It's a place where a little harmless dreaming and then some sleepy, early-morning talk has led us into considerations of the taste of death and annihilation.
Each night, when we go to sleep, we die. And the next morning, when we wake up, we are reborn.
Because there is no sunrise so beautiful that it is worth waking us up to see it.
But on the other hand.  
Who doesn't love sleep?  If your life has the tendency to fall apart when you're  awake? 
But in some cases, we do our best way of thinking at night when everyone else is sleeping. Their would be No interruptions and hopefully No noise. We are attracted to the feeling of being awake when no one else is.
Even a soul submerged in sleep is hard at work and helps make something of the world.
Feeling sleepless is when you know you're in love when you couldn't  fall asleep because finally reality is getting better than your dreams.
But if we are in an unstable relationship. 
We've wanted to fall asleep. The sort of slipping off, the giving up, the falling part of sleep. 
We were once told to Never go to bed mad. So should we stay up and fight?
Sometimes we can't help but wonder why this dark thing that sleeps in us is still asking that question. 
Do we really need to stay up more just to fight? Or is it time to shake it off and go to sleep?
Some people wake up drowsy. 
Some people wake up energized. 
Some wake up dead.
On the other hand being sleepless is far better than waking up lifeless. 
That is why there is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.
Sleep did not honor us with it’s presence.
That is why our tired sleepless brain needs to sleep to receive it's royal treatment.
