Angol
If you're reading this, it's probably nighttime, and you can't sleep. Good. Then I won't waste your time.
I'm not going to promise you that tomorrow will be better. You've heard that before, and it didn't help. What I can give you is older and simpler: the night has hours, and hours pass.
Until the Dawn is a companion for the nights you spend awake. A book for your nightstand, not your shelf - one you open to whatever hour you're in when sleep won't come. Every hour of the night has a name here, and a character of its own, and almost all of them feel less frightening once you know which one you're in:
This isn't a sleep method or a manual of techniques. It's someone on the other side of the page, unhurried, for as long as the night lasts - a night watchman calling out the hours so you know someone's awake, that the dark isn't an empty room, that even if you've lost your own key, there's still one for your door.
For anyone having a hard night. For anyone sitting up with someone else. And for giving to someone going through it when you don't know what to say.
You don't have to do anything. No underlining, no effort. Just turn the page when you need to.
If you know what 3 a.m. anxiety feels like, you already understand this book before reading a single page.
I'm going to stay here until dawn. And dawn is going to come.
