Dear Helper [Friend's Name], I cannot sleep! I hope this letter finds you well. As the moon reaches its peak, my mind continues to wander restlessly. I'm not sure if it's the worries or just the general mess of life, but about a week ago, sleep started to evade me. I cannot sleep! I find myself staring at the glow of my phone in the dark, wondering if that nighttime light is the culprit. The familiar sound of my spouse shuffling around at night might be another reason why I just can't seem to rest. I cannot sleep! Every night at 2 am, I find myself asking why I can't sleep. Is it the food I eat, the stress I'm under, or maybe it's just a gassy guess? Politics, age, or some other mysterious reason? I cannot sleep! I've been pacing around the bedroom floor, counting sheep and then counting more, with a thousand thoughts racing through my mind. Why can't sleep come to me on its gentle wings? I cannot sleep! I toss and turn without any clue, wishing for dreams to finally break through. My mind feels like a puzzle wrapped in mist, and these sleepless nights are caused something I just can't discern or disarm nor desist. I cannot sleep! And yet, every night, I find myself awake at 2 am again, wondering why. Is it something I ate, the stress of the day, or just a terrible mystery I'll never solve? A new bed, a bad pillow, the constant data breaches, and so many people to help in this some times dark, unjust broken wonderfully chaotic world. I cannot sleep! In my desire to assist, there are so many to reach... I write to share this with you because I know you understand what it's like to be a Helper, and you know THE HELPER . It's a challenging path, but knowing that you're out there, helping others, brings me some comfort. Take care, and I hope to talk to you soon. Warm regards, IN Helper's name, [My Name] I cannot sleep! PS this #ai music thing is not the cause, and I have tired all the fixes, including jamming some sleep now mixes, I cannot sleep! But it's okay, I think I know the various causes, I will start today, and how to mend, my restless body & mind to unbend, helping others and myself, perhaps chutzputh's feeding cognitive dissonance - what was and what is...
