Insomnia | Season Trends
Insomnia catches us in the silent hours: while the universe shuts down, we remain vigilant, prisoners of the fear of losing control. The mind clings stubbornly to the flow of time, to the ticking of the clock, while the exhausted body begs for respite. It’s as if an invisible tension were denying our ability to rest and every inch of us were suspended between torpor and a subtle energy which keeps us in a state of alertness. The minutes are like blank pages waiting to be written on by our thoughts. And yet, in that forced wakefulness, there is room for something new, something to forge an intimate bond with the night and its signals: the faint noise of the wind, the soft moonlight, the slow breathing of the sleeping city. Re-establishing contact with our surroundings can calm that restlessness, anxieties, inner torments. Insomnia is a strange contradiction, an unsuccessful challenge between the need to rest and the fear of giving in, of letting go. However, it is in those motionless hours that we can really listen to ourselves, face up to our hidden, insidious thoughts and reframe them. Rather than reject the time given to us, we can grasp it and accept those endless moments as a precious gift: our secret place where even silence has something to say.
