When I learned that some problems became smaller with sleep

Today something bothered me so much that I kept thinking about it before going to bed. I expected the problem to feel equally heavy the next morning. Surprisingly after sleeping it seemed more manageable. Nothing had changed externally. Somehow, my perspective had changed simply because my mind had rested.

People online often describe going to sleep with a problem and waking up with clearer throughts. I used to think that sounded too simple. Today I understood it. Rest does not magically solve everything, but exhaustion can make problems appear larger.sometimes the first step towards clarity is simply giving the brain time to recover.
