“I couldn't sleep last night. It was kind of funny, actually. I was tired, delirious, but I couldn't get to sleep. At one point, I asked myself, 'Is there anything I need to think about before I can get to sleep? Is there some kind of necessary prerequisite thought process I need to go through before I'll be able to fall asleep?' I took a step back and realized the absurdity of what I was asking myself. The answer was no, obviously. There's no checklist required for sleeping. The funny thing is, that answer actually surprised me. That there was no work required to actually be able to get to sleep. In fact, it genuinely made me happy. Sleep is goddamn beautiful, isn't it? Sleep the only thing you need to do while you're asleep, the only thing you need to worry about.”

Milo had had an eyebrow raised throughout most of the rant, but now he relaxed and responded, “Yeah, it is a pretty pleasing thing.”

Simon shrugged. “Still couldn't get to sleep, though.”
