Ive been an insomniac for as long as I can remember. Ive gone 7 day stretches with no sleep on sugar and adrenaline and 24/7 stimulation alone. That was during my pre-intoxicant period as well, when I was just a young lad.

Madness is a journey in and of itself, and sleep deprivation only adds to the confusion of the tangent loopholes our minds can create for us. The more we question and seek to learn, the more we wonder, and the broader we attempt to perceive things. Eventually we recognize patterns that follow downwards into infinity. Everything is fractalized.

Reality is humanity. It is a concept that is unique to us; it requires our senses, our understanding of time, and our awareness of self. That is reality. Tangibility. The only thing we can truly grasp onto for comfort. But there is something else we can grasp onto that makes us human, and therefore strengthens our sense of reality.

Choice. We each have a fate that depends on our current path and the actions we take. We can choose to be bad, or we can choose to be good or we can choose to be neutral and completely unconnected, among other choices. For each choice we make, our fate alters. It is dynamic and always subject to change. Just like our sense of reality.

You can choose to stop caring about the things you obsess about and instead to begin a nightly routine that winds your body down and prepares you for sleep.

Maintain a healthy diet and drink lots of water as well. Those are essentials and if you dont pay attention to them (as well as proper breathing) your quality of life will suffer.
