The “Why Am I Awake?” Crisis

It’s almost 2 AM. The world is silent. The streetlights outside are glowing just enough to remind me that I should be asleep. But here I am, lying in bed like a malfunctioning robot, absolutely clueless about what to do with myself.

Some people are awake right now because they’re going through heartbreak, financial crises, or some life-altering trauma. Me? I just… exist. No dramatic backstory, no emotional turmoil—just a perfectly fine human who simply cannot sleep for no damn reason.

I’ve already scrolled through every social media app twice, considered picking up a new hobby (at 2 AM? Really?), and even had a full-on internal debate about whether I should just give up and start my day now. But let’s be real if I actually get up, my body will suddenly remember how exhausted it is and betray me immediately.

So here I am, trapped in the most pointless all-nighter of all time, staring at the ceiling, contemplating my life choices, and wondering if I should just start a new career as a professional insomniac.
