insomnia

Description

Insomnia is the cruel endurance test of the mind that refuses to surrender to the night’s silence. Even when one closes their eyes, an inner playwright performs endless scenes, leaving invitations to deep sleep lost in the mail. Falling asleep is misunderstood as laziness, while the frantic search for sleep is mistaken for overexertion. The alarm clock becomes not an enemy, but a reluctant ally. Ultimately, insomnia is the excess of will that builds itself without waiting for rest.

Definitions

• A futile negotiation meeting between mattress and ceiling.
• A betrayal that emboldens the hands of the clock.
• The ultimate rebel that ignores the alarm clock’s desperate pleas.
• The night’s butler who burns the invitation to tranquility along with the envelope.
• An overactive thought engine that mocks sleeping pills.
• A performance art piece sharing the night’s silence on social media.
