Last night's nocturnal wanderings took me in and out of sleep in the three o'clock hour, the four o'clock hour, the five o'clock hour, and the six o'clock hour. I used the Calm app and played the binaural tracks, recommended for high cortisol that causes waking. I played them until I found them irritating, and then I moved on to box breathing in the six o'clock hour. I think the beats might have worked just a little bit. I woke up, but I think I also fell back to sleep.
My feed on social media is filled with sleep cures, all trying to convince me to follow their breadcrumbs.
Sleep, it seems, has become my new quest.
