At a certain point in the evening.
At a certain point in the evening your thoughts don’t slow down — they speed up. You’re not asleep yet, but you’re no longer working either. This in-between hour is the most uncomfortable: the day has ended, but it’s still inside you. The laptop is closed, the light is low, and yet your thoughts won’t settle...
Not all at once, not completely — but after a while you notice that something won’t shut down in you, as if a „switch” had broken. The body wants to rest, but the nervous system hasn’t received the signal that it’s over. Sleep would be drawing near, and yet you grow more and more awake, knowing all the while that this is working against you.
You’re not looking for a sleeping pill. You’re looking for a way to slow down — something that makes rest possible before you try to force it on yourself. A familiar set of motions that says: the day can be put down. Here you can open the evening — not at once, but at your own pace.
