Sleepless nights of worry over the relationship. Most three-a.m. anxieties dissolve with one morning conversation.
💼 In Career
Anxiety about mistakes and deadlines looms larger than reality. Writing worries down halves their size.
💰 In Money
Money worries wake you at night. Replace vague dread with the worst-case scenario in numbers — it is more bearable than you think.
🏛️ A Memory of the 15th Century
The figure clutching their face in bed, nine swords on the wall — swords that never actually point at them. One of the first pictures of what medieval people called the night demon (incubus): insomnia and nightmare, drawn as psychology.
