Acute insomnia is inability to fall asleep, but chronic insomnia is a gradual blurring of the lines between sleep and wakefulness, as both states converge to a greyish fog, it’s a very interesting walking-dead state (I don’t have either rn, but in the past have experienced both)

It is worth journaling or otherwise anchoring memories of periods of being in mental states that are actively unpleasant in the moment, but rich repos of insight when you’re in a healthier state. Healthy states don’t do many interesting things and you learn very little in them.

It's great to have a label for this. I've had nights where I've lain for what feels like hours in this weird interstitial space. It sort of feels like I should be able to fall asleep soon, but then I just don't.
