I don't get insomnia often, but when I do, it is caused by severe overthinking and rumination over things that worry me. Recently it has been about health, and money, and trying to save money and find a new place, and a smoker in our building that is making my migraines skyrocket - alas, there is nothing that overthinking it can do except makes me even sleepier to the point I want to cry and knock myself out with force of thousand suns.

I never need to go to the desperate measures though since IH is stronger than the rumination and I DO always fall asleep in some point - usually directly into dreams. I realize it because those nights are usually messy jumble of lucid dreams that just wait for me to realize that I am in a dream and not stuck in those scenarios anymore.

This comic is based on one of those nights I had recently - but I made the little guy cuter than in "reality". If I decided to go more "realistic" route, I'd need to mark this comic as a horror gore... (He wasn't scary to me, but I know to others he would be)

I am tired as fuck but the main crux of this week's comic is...
The sleep will come. Take deep breaths (box breathing is great), and remember that you are not alone with situational insomnia. Talk to your loved ones about your anxieties and worries, and try to make those plans when it is still light outside so it doesn't crawl into the night hours.

I forgot what I was about to write but...take care, stay safe. Wear a good raspirator to avoid infections and making your health worse in unmitigated pandemic, and I'll be back in couple of weeks if everything goes right with my commission pile. <3
