Starry sky at two o’clock in the morning
During the holidays, I couldn’t wait to go back to my small town in my hometown, and happily participated in a small gathering of my high school classmates.
During the chat, Feng was very middle-aged. During the meeting, some people talked about Chinese studies, some people talked about the formation of extreme weather (the major is meteorology), and some people talked about her sleep disorders.
They talked real and interesting, and I had a lot of fun listening to them. After all, it’s been a long time, and being able to gather together and speak freely is a kind of happiness in itself.
I happened to sit next to my classmate Pearl who was talking about sleep disorders.
Pearl was very smart and sweet-looking when she was in school, and boys who had a crush on her could also make them into names such as No. 1 Frog and No. 2 Toad. In my opinion, she doesn’t look like she has a bad sleep (such as dull complexion, haggard and aging), but has a good complexion and a charming smile. Although there are crow’s feet in the corner of the eye, it is still a shining pearl.
Pearl said she has had trouble falling asleep since she was young, and the feeling of not being able to sleep every night caused her anxiety. As a result, the more nervous I became, the more I couldn’t fall asleep, and the more I couldn’t sleep, the more anxious I became, until my whole body trembled.
I asked her if she had seen a doctor, and she said she had, and she had taken some traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning, and it would improve, but the underlying symptoms would not be resolved.
Although for a person like me who falls asleep after ten o’clock in the evening, I can’t understand the pain, but in middle age, who hasn’t experienced the taste of insomnia several times! Is a life without insomnia still called life?
According to statistics released by the China Sleep Research Association, more than 300 million people in my country have sleep disorders, and pearls are one of them.
Pearl said that she is not nervous about dealing with the monster of insomnia now, she just let nature take its course, if she can’t fall asleep, she won’t sleep, but time can’t be wasted, so she just read novels. The classmate Li next to her suggested that she would listen to novels when she couldn’t fall asleep, and fell asleep soon after listening. It can be seen with the naked eye that classmate Li has no sleep disorders, and she is clearly still as heartless as before.
Pearl related a recent incident of her insomnia.
On the second day of the long holiday, Pearl and her husband went to live in a house in the country for the night. The old house has been unoccupied for a long time and needs to be cleaned. During the day, they clean and dust and sweep the yard. The temperature was abnormal that day, soaring to 37°C. There was no air conditioner or electric fan in the house in the country. At night, she tossed and turned in bed and couldn’t fall asleep, so she simply got up and walked to the yard. It was two o’clock in the morning, and when she looked up and saw the starry sky, she was startled.
Pearl said that she had never seen such dense stars, bright, bright, and twinkling, just like a big hand grabbed a handful of diamonds and threw them into the sky. The sky was low, and the stars seemed about to release a meteor shower at any moment. She was struck by this beautiful scene, and quickly ran into the house, dragging her husband up to watch the starry sky. So, a middle-aged couple sat in the yard, looking up at the sky in a daze.
Later, her husband said that although she didn’t sleep well during the night in the country, it was worth seeing a fairy-tale starry sky that she had never seen before.
For the sake of the pure beauty of the starry sky, they also agreed to come to the old country house for a night from time to time in the future.
Suddenly I was a little envious of Pearl, because a person who sleeps well will never see the starry sky at two o’clock in the morning, he can’t get up, and he doesn’t want to struggle to get up. From the perspective of this matter, Pearl is married to the right person. Because her husband must be a gentle person, he feels the same for his wife’s romance, and it is a small blessing to be woken up by his wife in the middle of the night to see the stars in the sky.
Maybe everyone’s happiness quota is about the same. If you lack here, you will make up for it there. No one needs to envy anyone, because there is no perfect life, each has its own monsters to fight, and each has its own happiness to enjoy.
