Restlessness can ensnare you like insomnia symptoms a vice during the night. Every sound becomes amplified, every shadow takes on a threatening form. You toss and turn, your mind racing, desperate for some elusive peace. Sleep, once a gentle haven, has become a distant fantasy. The hours crawl by, each one an eternity of suffering.

Sleepless nights can creep in like shadows, robbing our energy and concentration. The constant humming of worry and anxiety might keep us trapped in a restless cycle. But there are techniques to shatter this pattern and reclaim our nights.
