Summary
Sparrow 58880, posting in an ME/CFS forum, describes a restless nighttime spiral of lying awake furious at their own brain. When they cannot sleep during a crash they put on a boring audiobook and let it drone until their mind gives up, and they say sometimes the reset is letting the day be garbage without piling on guilt. No onset, severity, treatment or recovery details are given.
